I taught a credit course in @NUJSKolkata in 2015 & gave a lecture last year. Even in 2015, some of its male students displayed blatant misogyny. Apart from some rude remarks post lecture, I have seen more of its male student behave this way. Not be returning to this campus again 
It is not just this campus— or this boy. The number of young men who disrespect the women in public spaces, especially women they disagree with, is now normalized.
Post lecture, one of the students asked, “ what do you have to say for your self. Imran Khan retweeted you.” — the tone was accusatory, and this was the level of discourse. A bunch of female students jumped at my defense, but still a good reflection of where we are.
This was not the end of it. Many it’s law students since the lecture have made nasty comments online. I have mostly ignored them till this was flagged and sent to me. I am doing this after being patient and letting things be for a while.
But more importantly I was told by @NUJSKolkata that — “The IDG sessions are informal in nature, are not recorded and are kept in confidentiality. Nothing stated in the session is informed to the media and no one in the session is allowed to make a record of the same. “
Then how is it ok for your students to make these comments ?@NUJSKolkata
