Trampling dissent and absence of democratic spaces in academic institutions

In this event, the topic will be discussed by taking a recent case of eviction of two students from Symbiosis law school Hyderabad who were evicted because they were asking for justice and a due procedural enquiry on sexual harrassment incidences by a professor against many students. The students were evicted without any prior notice and any enquiry into the matter because college administration felt that they are damaging the brand of symbiosis. Such authoritarian decisions by the college administration to curb dissent against students protesting for their rights should be condemned. We extend our solidarity to the two students who are fighting this battle on behalf of the student community to create more open educational spaces.

The two evicted students will join us for the event to tell us about how the students voices against injustice inside the campus of symbiosis law school are regularly suppressed in order to safeguard their public image.

All are Welcome! Entry free and open to all
