On Sunday, Lu Yong was forcibly removed from a New York-bound flight at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
Lu Yong reportedly insisted on a seat upgrade, then took a seat assigned to another passenger.
The captain later notified airport police after the guest lecturer refused to go back to his seat or leave the aircraft.
Chengdu-based Southwestern University says it values the virtue and ethical conduct of its teachers, and will not tolerate unlawful behavior.
Lu Yong is also an associate professor with Pennsylvania State University in the United States.
