The Story in Brief
The Save University Campaign Committee (SUCC) has criticised the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) for staging a mock funeral of the Vice-Chancellor during a protest at Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit in Kalady. The SUCC said the act, which took place while a Syndicate meeting was underway, amounted to mental torture and character assassination of a teacher. It noted a similar protest at a Palakkad college and urged democratic forms of agitation. The Hindu reports the SUCC’s statement.
The Indian Opinion
The Save University Campaign Committee is right to call out the mock funeral as degrading. But critics who frame this as a simple defence of the V-C miss the point. The real test is whether the university administration addresses the grievances that drove students to such extremes in the first place. Will the Syndicate now release an inquiry report with concrete findings, or will both sides retreat into theatrics?
