Keeping Things Safe at Calicut university
Something not-so-good happened at Calicut University lately. The Kerala High Court had to step in to help make things safer for the people in charge of the Senate. The High Court said on December 23 that it’s super important to follow the rules and keep safe the folks chosen by the Chancellor to be in the Senate.
Problems for Senate Members
Some members of the Senate, like Balan Pootheri, C. Manoj, Aswin Raj P.M., Hareesh A.V., Afsal Saheer, Sneha C., Praveen Kumar A.R., and Anuraj A.K., had a hard time going to their meeting. They said some students from the Students Federation of India (SFI) made it tough for them. A guy named Afsal, who’s in charge of SFI in the State, didn’t let them go to the meeting. He even said things that scared them from going.
These Senate people got a notice to attend a meeting on December 21. But when they went to the Senate House, these SFI students stopped them outside and made it scary for them to go in. They said they wouldn’t let them join the meeting. That’s not good because these Senate meetings are very important.
There was also a march by some workers from ABVP. They marched to the house of the person in charge of the university (the Vice Chancellor). They were upset because they heard that SFI students didn’t let Senate members picked by the Governor get into the university gate for a meeting.
Help from the High Court: Staying Safe
The Kerala High Court saw all this trouble and quickly told the police to keep everything safe at Calicut University. They wanted to make sure that the Senate members are safe and can join their meetings without any problems.
When things like this happen, it’s not good for the university. It makes it hard for the people who need to make decisions for the university. The Senate meetings are super important for making these decisions.
But the High Court coming in to help is a good thing. It shows that rules are important and that everyone should feel safe to do their jobs. Making sure that Senate members are safe is a big deal for the university to keep growing and working well.
Importance of Safe University Spaces
At Calicut University, the safety of Senate members directly impacts the university’s functioning. These members play a crucial role in decision-making, shaping policies, and ensuring the institution’s progress. When their safety is compromised, the entire university faces disruptions that hinder its growth.
The interference faced by Senate members not only disrupts the operational functioning of the institution but also undermines the sanctity of the decision-making body. These disruptions, caused by external interference, pose concerns not just for the individuals involved but for the university community as a whole.
Building a Secure Future for the University
Ultimately, the Kerala High Court’s intervention sets a precedent for creating a safe and conducive environment within Calicut University. It symbolizes a collective effort to nurture an atmosphere where ideas can flourish without fear, where decisions are made without hindrance.
The High Court’s directive is not merely about protecting Senate members; it’s about safeguarding the spirit of academic freedom, fostering an environment where diverse opinions can coexist and contribute to the university’s growth.
Making the University Safe for Everyone
In the end, the Kerala High Court’s rule is really important. It helps make sure that the Senate members at Calicut University are safe. This is super important so that everyone can do their part without feeling scared or stopped. Making the Senate meetings safe and fair is a big step for the university to get better.
