Seek details of report on two professors
Students of Madras Christian College went on strike on the campus on Tuesday, demanding that the authorities share the details of a report prepared on two professors from the zoology department.
A group of 34 students had filed a complaint with the college principal in the first week of February seeking action against two faculty members for sexual misconduct during a study tour organised a couple of months earlier.
The college had instituted a departmental inquiry, following which disciplinary action was initiated.
Severe action demanded
The students were, however, not satisfied with the response and demanded severe action against the teachers.
On Tuesday, the students staged a sit in, demanding that the report of the committee subsequently constituted to inquire into their complaint be read out to them.
After nearly two hours of talks when the students refused to back down, principal in-charge A. Duraisamy read out the report to the students.
The principal, R.W. Alexander Jesudasan, is out of the country and is expected to return on April 15.
The second committee included an alumnus, a lawyer and the head of women students.
Students were told that the report would be submitted on April 6 to the internal complaints committee for further action.
One of the protesters said the college had only decided to bar the erring faculty from participating in tours till 2022 and from examination-related activities.
After nearly two hours of talks when the students refused to back down, Mr. Duraisamy, read out the report to the students.
