Jindal expels and suspends students for ragging

Monday, 23 September 2013 By Legally India Law schools

Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) Sonepat expelled four students and suspended 12 others for bullying first-year students, reported the Times of India.

JGLS registrar YSR Murthy told the paper that the action was taken within 24 hours of the administration receiving the complaint of bullying, through an inquiry by a disciplinary committee. The law school also held an “open house” on Friday to sensitise students about the issue.

The suspended students will now appeal the suspension order before the law school’s vice chancellor.

I would like to point out a fact misreported by TOI (no surprises there!) regarding this issue. The perpetrators in the incident that took place were also first year students. The article in questions mentions that those who bullied the first years were "seniors". This is not true.

Simply expelling criminals is insufficient. Their names and their personal details like photos, families, residences, etc. must be on the net permanently. Unless you practise zero tolerance, you will merely encourage repetition of such behavior. Even if the ragged students 'forgive' them, as an institution, you cannot and must not, if you seek an effective solution.

It was not a case of ragging but [b]bullying[/b] on the part of the freshmen themselves. The seniors had no role in this incident of alleged ragging.[b] None [/b] of the seniors were expelled or suspended. Interesting how Times of India got this information wrong.
