Dr. Venugopalan, in charge of computer center discussing with students
Students of the Department of Computer Science expressed anger as one of fellow student was allegedly assaulted by a faculty member in the computer lab today morning.
The student alleged that the faculty member intentionally hit the student unnecessary, while the faculty member denied assaulting and charged that student was allegedly watching movies during the lab timings.
Anguished students forced shutdown the college and called Pankaj Borana, Student President of Mohan Lal Sukhadia University and Dr. Venugopalan, In-charge of Computer Centre, MLSU. Borana soon reached the spot and took the situation under control.
Meanwhile, Dr. Venugopalan reached the college premises and called the student and the faculty member to resolve the matter.
Dr. Venugopal said, “After his apology to the student, I have pulled out the faculty member from his lab duty and now he will not work in the lab. Also, I have advised the students that discipline in the computer lab should be maintained”.
“It is a matter of disrespect for the students, if he is physically hit by any faculty member. Everybody carries his own self esteem. The accused faculty member has apologized and has been warned by the student union for not carrying out any such act in future”, said, Pankaj Borana, President, MLSU.
Loss of patience….. at both the sides.
Spare the rod and spoil the child! An old saying that may still be true. I do not agree to mishandling the students by staff , but there must have been a strong reason to do so.
What ever the reason, Dr Venu, has given his best to develop the Computer Center. Asking for grace marks in passing is ungraceful . If one passes by grace then s/he is either not fit to have joined the course or s/he is going to be next Bill Gates. He was a dropout.
The choice is for the students to decide if they want to pass by grace marks or stand outstanding without the grace marks.
Why such situation aroused…… we should see the root cause? No smoke without fire…..
