2 years ago Prof at my old school had a student commit suicide over being pressured to go along with this. You can Google your way to figuring out where and who. Last month Prof finally resigned. No other repercussions. People think academia is some priesthood it's not. It's a business like any other with a law of averages determined number of bad actors.
