Kozhikode students’ union challenges acting HoD appointment

A medical college students’ union in Kozhikode has objected to the appointment of an acting head of department, The Hindu reported. Union functionaries claim that the faculty member proposed for the position had earlier been accused of mentally harassing postgraduate students. The available material does not name the institution, the faculty member or the department involved.

It also does not say whether the allegation was investigated or established. No response from the college administration or the faculty member is included in the supplied report. The union’s objection is therefore presented as a claim by its functionaries, rather than as a finding about the allegation.
