While the student protests at the National Institute of Design (NID) have subsided, an email feud continues to simmer at the prestigious design institute. The latest exchange involves newly appointed director Ashok Mondal and several women faculty members who are objecting to his recent reshuffle. They are particularly concerned about the removal of six women from positions of authority and Mondal's subsequent explanation during an open house with students.
'Women are great educators': Mondal
In a recorded response to a student's question about the removal of women faculty from leadership roles, Mondal stated, "I am only saying, there are a lot of women faculty at NID and they are great educators. Again, I am saying the same faculty can give more time to teaching (after being removed from power positions like chairpersons, portfolios of which also include academic administration work).
That's what.
