Bengaluru law college professor chastise girl for wearing shorts to class

Professor not only rebuked the student for wearing shorts to the class, but also questioned her integrity, said students.

An improper remark by a professor of National Law School of India University in Bengaluru kicked off a furore. According to a report, the professor scorned a girl for wearing shorts in the class. In protest to the remark, the students wore shorts to the concerned professor’s class the next day.

“The professor not only rebuked the student for wearing shorts to the class, but also questioned her integrity. The argument put forth by the professor was uncalled for and was emphatically protested by other students. Not being marred by the repercussions of the incident, the concerned student tried to discuss the issue with the professor, but in vain; the professor went on lambasting her,” said a student of the law college.

The outraged students took to social media platforms to put forth their views. “The Vice Chancellor has taken cognisance of the situation; however we demand that a special committee should be formulated to look into the situation and immediate action should be taken against the professor. The professor is open to any such inquiry,” a student said.
