1. She could have simply shown the TOI matrimonial pages. These are public but respect privacy by not naming names of people or showing their photos.
2. She showed profiles of students.
3. She showed profiles of girls.
The other thing I have her problem with is her denunciation of "Jai Shri Ram". I accept that it has been used by a few rogue elements, but so has "Allah Hu Akbar" and to a much greater extent. So don't throw the peaceful baby out with the extremist bathwater!
- Jindal gives space to all opinions and viewpoints. There are RW profs and there is also a Centre for Israel Studies in college. The university has not officially supported Hamas and the event with Achin Vanaik was not an official university event.
- Children of very senior BJP politicians have studied in/graduated from Jindal.
- Prof Dalwai's mail about the Jai Shri Ram slogan was an internal faculty mail, but it was accepted that the display of Bumble profiles was inappropriate and avoidable.
- Going forward, a revised Code of Conduct will be emailed to all faculty (not just singling out Prof Dalwai) to respect privacy and FOE and to not show and personal info about students in class without their consent (including social media and dating profiles).
- The Code of Conduct will also say that the university logo cannot be used for unsanctioned events, like the Palestine event.
- The email will be sent by the end of this week.
The meeting ended amicably.

Just wait as elections approach: other NLUs will see big time fights.
Not true. Ask any RW student.
"The university has not officially supported Hamas and the event with Achin Vanaik was not an official university event."
Sameena's first email says "VC supports us unlike other colleges"
Besides, that video wouldn't have come out had she not sent that email singling out Hindu and RW students.
Not true. It was specifically sent to a student and the student was singled out (exactly how many of the faculty in JGLS single out RW students).
Btw, concerned deans have been informed about this.
Thats a vast enough difference that something iffy has gone on for sure. either the former grader or the latter has not done their job. Why do you think it was related to your politics?
"The cultural left (meaning the part of the left focused on cultural issues rather than imperialism or corporatism) ... has become increasingly censorious, moralising, controlling, repressive, petulant, joyless, self-victimising, trivial and status-quo-perpetuating."

1. Bumble profiles are not private
2. The word "chutiya" means fool, not just a vulgar slang. It was used by the prof in the former context.
2. It is a slang. Simply because you use it with impunity or are surrounded by people who do so too, doesn't make it cease to be one. Why don't you try calling your family members one and see their reaction to it?
Having said that- Jindals right wing and left wing students are cowards. The right wing students dont have the courage of their convictions to actually have a discussion with their professor when they disagree. They dont have the intellectual ability or the courage to hold their own in an argument. They would rather go to the admin and whinge about you. And Jindals left wing students want to be praised for every half assed barely informed protest they do instead of actually doing things to improve how the university exists within the sonipat ecosystem. Their left wing politics is completely divorced from the struggles of poor people. And they get outraged when their stupidity is called out by people not at their university. Be better leftists- youre embarassing the rest of us.
Its unsurprising that someone who teaches and behaves this way has stayed at this university for more than ten years and been promoted regularly. The place rewards mediocrity as long as you play along with the corrupt practices at the institution. What is keele university anyway?
It may be bad taste depending on the type of engagement, but the argument of the HCW is not that it is bad taste, but that it has violated privacy (it has not) and is an offence against women. From the T&C: "As Bumble is a public community, Your Content will be visible to other users of the App all around the world instantly - so make sure you are comfortable sharing Your Content before you post."
No one is arguing that she broke some bumble law - or atleast the people youre responding to arent. Stop fighting strawmen and tell us what academic value this exercise provided and why its defensible as something a professor would do in the classroom? What are you learning from this you cannot learn from reading a study on endogamy/ mate choice. Why did it need to be done this way? why is this in good taste?
Its completely legal to show pornography in a law classroom, but it shouldnt happen though right? unless there is a really compelling reason we tend to keep that stuff out of the classroom.
Do better, Prof Dalwai.
Academics discuss all sorts of things in the classroom - I don’t have a problem with her talking about endogamy or mating choices. I have a problem with how stupidly she did it.
When academics talk about the drug laws they don’t bring cocaine into the classroom, when they talk about gay rights they don’t show you videos of people having sex. When they talk about abortion rights they don’t show you videos of abortions. Somehow - they’re manage to talk about all of these difficult things using long form articles, case law , social sciences research etc etc.
Why is it ever necessary to show anyones bumble profile to a class ? Please explain what utility it serves.
Incidentally, she also insinuates in the video that certain profs are encouraging "Love Jihad". So it's official then: this is a pure BJP-Congress shadow war happening (Sameena is the daughter of a Cong MP + Naveen Jindal is a two-time Cong MP + Cong politicians like Shashi Tharoor are big supporters of JGLS).
