Kolkata professor who was forced to quit for posting swimsuit picture , now asked to pay 99 crores compensation

St Xavier’s University Kolkata has come under fire on social media after a former assistant professor was allegedly forced to quit her position over Instagram photos. She alleged that the university charged her with posting “objectionable" and “inappropriate" photos of herself on Instagram. As per an Indian Express report, the academic has now decided to move the Calcutta High Court against the university authorities. Following her allegations, social media erupted in outrage against the university and now, a petition has been started against its vice chancellor.

The petition titled “Launch disciplinary action against Felix Raj (VC - St Xavier’s Kol) with immediate effect" has 372 signatures at the time of writing this article. It has been started by a St Xavier’s University alumnus, Gaurav Banerjee, to the Education Minister of West Bengal, Bratya Basu. It demands that the university authorities should provide an unconditional apology to the former professor and that disciplinary action be taken against VC Felix Raj and the committee.

The petition notes that the academic had posted her photos wearing a swimsuit on her personal Instagram page, which is private; and regardless of it being private, the personal handle of an individual “has no link with the prestige of the university, and nor does it warrant the distress of a guardian to an extent that the professor be relieved of her duties". It further decries the moral castigation by the university, stating that every individual has the right to express themselves freely in their personal space as long as it does not explicitly involve the university.
