CHRIST (Deemed to be University) Main Campus Gate

CHRIST, also known as Christ College and Christ University, is a deemed-to-be-university located in Bangalore, Karnataka, India.[1] Founded in 1969 as Christ College, the University Grants Commission (UGC) conferred autonomy to the college in 2004. On 22 July 2008, it was declared as an institution deemed to be university under section 3 of UGC Act 1956 by the Ministry of Education.[2]

Christ is under the management of the priests of the Catholic religious order, Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI), part of Syro Malabar Major Archiepiscopal Church. In 2016, the university was accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council with A+ Grade.[3]

History

Christ (Deemed to be University) was born out of the educational vision of St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara, an educationist and social reformer of the nineteenth century in South India.[4] Chavara founded the first indigenous Catholic congregation Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI) in 1831, which administers Christ (Deemed to be University).[4] Established in 1969 as Christ College, the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India conferred autonomy to Christ College in 2004[5] and identified it as an "institution with potential for excellence" in 2006.[6] In 2008 under section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, the Ministry of Human Resource Development of the Government of India, declared the institution a "deemed to be university" in the name and style of Christ University. Later in 2018, upon the direction of Supreme Court of India, the word university was removed, thus making it Christ (Deemed to be University).[7] Christ was one of the first institutions in India to be accredited in 1998 by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), and subsequently in 2004, 2016 and 2022 had been awarded Grade 'A+' on 4-point scale.[8]

Controversies

Student Attempted Suicide after Sexual Harassment by Faculty Member at Christ University[16][17]

Background of the Incident

In July 2013, a distressing event occurred at Christ University, Bangalore, involving a 19-year-old second-year degree student who attempted suicide by consuming rat poison on the university campus. This drastic step was taken after the student faced alleged sexual harassment by the National Cadet Corps (NCC) officer of the university, Captain Ajay Pavithran. The incident brought to light serious allegations of misconduct and harassment within the university's NCC program.

The Incident Unfolds

The student, reportedly under distress due to harassment, sent a text message to her father shortly before attempting suicide, urging him to ensure justice against the NCC officer responsible for her suffering. Fortunately, the student's mother, having recently moved closer to the university to be with her daughter, was able to rush her to Jayanagar General Hospital in time, where the student's condition stabilized.

Legal and Institutional Response

Following the incident, the student's parents filed a complaint against Captain Pavithran, leading to his arrest under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for outraging the modesty of a woman. He was subsequently remanded to judicial custody for 14 days. The allegations suggested that Pavithran had been harassing the student for six months, including making inappropriate requests and public humiliation that culminated in the attempted suicide.

Allegations of Widespread Harassment

Further investigations and testimonies from the victim's friends revealed a pattern of alleged harassment by Pavithran, including attempts to sexually harass other students. These accounts highlighted a culture of fear among students, deterring them from speaking out against the NCC officer due to threats of rustication and loss of ranks within the NCC program.

University's Reaction and Inquiry

Christ University's Pro Vice-Chancellor, Fr. Abraham, stated that Pavithran was known for his strictness but had not previously faced complaints during his years of service. He assured that the university would conduct an inquiry into the allegations, emphasizing that no suspension would occur without a thorough investigation. Despite claims from the victim's mother that the university attempted to persuade the family to withdraw their complaint, the case had already been officially registered with the police.

Fr Abraham Vettiyankal, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Christ University, however, claimed that the victim was making excuses. “The other fathers on the campus informed me that the girl took the step after she was asked to go to a camp to which she did not want to go. I do not think the accusations of sexual advances are true,” he said.[18]

NCC's Stance and Preventive Measures

In response to the incident and arrest, the Karnataka & Goa Directorate of the National Cadet Corps announced plans to take action based on the findings of the university's inquiry into Pavithran's conduct. Moreover, a sensitization exercise for all NCC officers in the state was initiated to educate staff on appropriate interactions with cadets, particularly focusing on the treatment of female students.

Sexual Harassment During Online Examination Allegations

In June 2021, Christ (Deemed to be University) in Bengaluru faced controversy following allegations made by a female student regarding the inappropriate behaviour of a proctor during an online examination.[19][20] The student shared screenshots on social media platforms, where the proctor allegedly addressed her as "baby" when she inquired about submitting her answers in PDF format during an end-semester examination. The screenshots quickly went viral, leading to widespread criticism.

In response to the allegations, Dr. Abraham V M, the Vice-Chancellor of the institution, stated that the university had constituted a two-member committee of faculty members to investigate the matter. The university clarified that while they had not received any formal complaint from students, they had taken cognizance of the issue based on the social media posts regarding the proctor's behavior. The Karnataka unit of the National Students Union of India (NSUI) also got involved, with plans to approach the University Grants Commission with a detailed report on the incidents of alleged misconduct at the university.

Student Protests Over University Regulations

In 2016, Christ University in Bengaluru witnessed a wave of student discontent, leading to a silent protest.[21][22][23] The grievances primarily revolved around the university's strict regulations, including its 85% attendance requirement and dress codes.

Genesis of the Protest

The initial spark for the protest was a blog post by a second-year BSc student, Sumedha Biswas, from the Hosur Road campus. She expressed frustration over the university's decision not to declare a holiday during a three-day bus strike. This decision affected many students who relied on public transport and were at risk of not meeting the attendance requirement. Biswas's post highlighted the challenges faced by students who don't reside close to the campus.

Faculty Dismissal and Dress Code Issues

Further fueling the discontent was the alleged dismissal of an economics professor from the Bannerghatta campus. An anonymous blog post claimed that the professor was fired for questioning the university's marking scheme and for refusing to announce a new dress code rule in class. The Bannerghatta campus, primarily catering to management students, had imposed dress codes that some humanities students felt were unfairly applied to them.

Ridiculous Rules and fines[24]

Christ University in Bengaluru is known for its strict unreasonable regulations, which have been a source of controversy and criticism among students and alumni. These rules span various aspects of student life, from dress codes to attendance, and are enforced with fines and disciplinary actions that many find excessive and discriminatory.

The most controversial rules imposed by Christ University on its students, as highlighted by The News Minute, include a discriminatory dress code with stringent checks on women's attire, The dress code at Christ University has been particularly contentious, with students claiming it is biased against women. Men are required to wear shirts and trousers with belts, while women must wear cotton churidars or salwars with knee-length kurtas, explicitly banning leggings and lycra. Dupattas are compulsory for women, and there have been instances where security guards were tasked with checking the fabric of women's clothing, an action that has been described as invasive and uncomfortable by the students.

Another rule that highlights the institution's strict stance is the prohibition of clapping, hooting, and cheering in auditoriums, with penalties including the confiscation of identity cards and mandatory meetings with the dean. Additionally, the university's policy of conducting classes even during state-wide bandhs (strikes), albeit with leniency towards students living within a 3km radius, underscores its commitment to academic rigor at the expense of flexibility.

Christ University's approach to discipline extends to its own penal code, wherein students are fined for being late to sports practice or missing sessions, with allegations that the university collects substantial amounts in fines. This system also affects hostel residents, who face fines for late returns within a narrowly defined dinner hour and are required to maintain an attendance rate of at least 85% to stay in the hostel.

Students and lecturers allege that the university collects lakhs of rupees in fines.

The enforcement of these rules, such as the restriction on students staying out overnight (limited to once per semester with parental permission), and the previous requirement for sick students to vacate the hostel unless a permission letter was faxed in advance, has led to a perception of an overregulated environment that prioritizes control over student welfare and personal freedom.

These regulations, while intended to maintain discipline and order, have sparked debate about the balance between institutional control and student autonomy, raising questions about the impact of such policies on the educational experience and personal development of students at Christ University.

Key Grievances Outlined by Students

  • The stringent 85% attendance requirement.
  • Strict dress codes, including a rule against rolling up sleeves.
  • Not declaring holidays during bandhs and strikes.
  • The Student Council being appointed rather than elected, leaving students feeling they lacked a platform to voice their concerns.
  • Discrepancies in assessment percentages between the Hosur Road and Bannerghatta Road campuses.

University's Response

John Joseph Kennedy, Dean of Humanities & Social Sciences at the Hosur Road campus, stated that the university only declares holidays if the government does so. He emphasized that attendance could always be made up and that students who felt unsafe during bandhs or strikes were not obligated to attend.

Former students narrate their own experiences

After the dismissal of an assistant professor sparked protests, former students began sharing their own stringent experiences under the institution's rules on social media. These alumni recounted various strict enforcement measures, including invasive dress code checks, where guards would verify the material of women's clothing and ensure compliance with a salwar-kameez and dupatta dress code. Others shared memories of excessive attendance policies, with professors obsessively monitoring students' attire and grooming, and security measures that restricted physical contact between genders. Amidst these testimonies, some expressed a conflicted loyalty to the institution, criticizing its overreach yet acknowledging their pride in their alma mater. The narrative reflects a broader critique of the university's governance, highlighting a disconnect between the institution's policies and the personal freedoms of its students.[25]

Allegations of Sexual Harassment and Oppressive Rules

Christ University faced severe backlash and criticism for alleged incidents of sexual harassment by senior faculty members and the imposition of what were perceived as oppressive and draconian rules on students.[26]

Incidents of Harassment

An anonymous student from Christ University detailed her experiences with sexual harassment by senior faculty members in a blog post.[27] She recounted instances where professors made inappropriate comments and advances towards her and other female students. One professor, part of the college administration, was noted for his conceited remarks on female students' appearances and was known to have been previously accused of sexual harassment. Another professor allegedly flirted with female students and made inappropriate comments about their relationships with male classmates.

Support for Student Protests

The anonymous blog post was in solidarity with the student protest happening at the Bannerghatta campus against the 'draconian dress code'. A faculty member who supported the ongoing student protest against the restrictive dress code and other oppressive rules was allegedly asked to quit. Students were reportedly punished for having friends of the opposite gender, and surprise checks were conducted at girls' hostels by authorities at odd hours.

Alleged Oppression and Character Assassination

Students, particularly females, were subjected to character judgments based on their appearance and behavior. Instances were reported where students were pulled up for their appearance, accused of distracting classmates, and subjected to character assassination for carrying cosmetics or wearing leggings. The university's rules and the administration's actions were perceived as attempts to stifle expressions of solidarity among students and crush any dissenting voices.[28]

Response and Repercussions

The allegations and the experiences shared by the students highlighted the need for a safer and more inclusive environment within the university. The incidents underscored broader societal issues related to gender, morality, and the rights of students within educational institutions.

Allegations of Sexist Dress Codes and Moral Policing[29][30][31]

In recent years, Christ University in Bengaluru has faced criticism for its alleged sexist dress codes and moral policing practices, which many students and activists argue perpetuate gender bias and discrimination.

Stringent Dress Code Rules

The university has imposed strict dress code rules, especially targeting female students. These rules prohibit leggings, kurtas that are knee-length or shorter, and mandate the wearing of a dupatta. Women students are even restricted from wearing Lucknowi kurtas due to their often translucent sleeves. The enforcement of these rules is carried out by security guards who determine whether a student can enter the campus based on their attire.

UGC Regulations and Private Universities

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has guidelines stating that safety concerns for female students should not be used as a reason to impose discriminatory rules. These guidelines emphasize that campus safety policies should not result in over-monitoring, policing, or curtailing the freedom of movement, especially for female students and employees. However, these regulations primarily apply to central universities affiliated with UGC and some state universities receiving UGC funding. Private universities, like Christ, are not necessarily bound by these guidelines.

Call for Change

A campaign initiated on Jhatkaa.org called for the UGC to extend its non-discriminatory regulations to all 'deemed to be' universities, including Christ University. The campaign also demanded that Christ University repeal its discriminatory dress codes.

Incident of Student Suicide Over Disciplinary Action[32]

In December of 2012 tragic event unfolded at Christ College when 17-year-old Derek Sahil, a second-year Pre-University Course (PUC) student, committed suicide after consuming poison. The distressing incident occurred after Derek was reprimanded by his lecturers for sending objectionable messages to a female student, also from Christ College. Following the complaint lodged by the girl, the college authorities warned Derek and requested his parents to come to the college for a discussion regarding his behavior. Faced with the fear of the consequences and possibly the humiliation of his actions being disclosed to his parents, Derek chose to end his life. He was rushed to Victoria Hospital but succumbed to the poison on Thursday, leaving behind a grieving family and a college community in shock.

In the aftermath of this heartbreaking incident, Derek's parents have openly accused the college's faculty of harassing their son, leading him to take such a drastic step. They plan to seek justice for Derek by approaching the Karnataka State Human Rights Commission (KSHRC), demanding action against Christ Junior College for their handling of the situation. Derek's father, P Michael, expressed his anguish over losing his son to what he believes was undue pressure and harassment by the college authorities. The family's plea for justice highlights the severe impact of the college's disciplinary measures and calls for a reconsideration of how educational institutions address behavioral issues among students.[33]

Christ University's spokesperson has denied the allegations of harassment, stating that the student was summoned for sending text messages during class hours and that such actions are part of their effort to monitor academic performance and maintain discipline within the institution. The spokesperson emphasized that parents are called in to keep them informed about their ward’s academic and behavioral standing, suggesting a different perspective on the events leading to Derek's tragic decision.

This incident has sparked a conversation about the balance between discipline and the mental health of students, urging educational institutions to find compassionate and constructive ways to address issues without leading to such devastating outcomes.

Controversy Over Tenure Duration

Source:[34]

In February 2023, a controversy arose surrounding the tenure of Fr Abraham V. M, the Vice-Chancellor of Christ (Deemed to be University) in Bengaluru. The Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI), the management of the institution, was alleged to be curtailing the five-year term prescribed by the University Grants Commission (UGC) for Vice-Chancellors. Fr Abraham V. M, who began his term on March 1, 2019, was initially appointed for three years. He received a one-year extension in 2022, concluding his term on February 28, 2023.

Internal Communications and Allegations

Fr Abraham V. M communicated his concerns to the university's chancellor, Fr Paul Achandy, pointing out alleged inconsistencies in the appointment of a new Vice-Chancellor. He emphasized that the appointment process might be in violation of UGC regulations. The Vice-Chancellor's concerns were primarily centered on the UGC's requirement for Vice-Chancellors to serve five-year terms. Additionally, in a letter dated February 27, he highlighted that a UGC member on the selection committee insisted on a public advertisement for the Vice-Chancellor position, a view that was not shared by the other committee members.

Response from CMI

The CMI, in its internal communications, maintained that the requirement for issuing a notification inviting applications for the Vice-Chancellor position was not applicable to Christ (deemed university) due to its 'minority status'. The prior general of CMI, Thomas C Mathew, did not comment on the decision to limit Fr Abraham's tenure to four years, despite previous Vice-Chancellors serving five-year terms.

Controversy Surrounding Deemed University Status

In 2008, Christ College was involved in a controversy surrounding the granting of deemed university status.[35] The institute is now a deemed to be university.[36][37][38][39][40] Questions arose about the legitimacy of the "No-Objection Certificates" (NoC) issued by Bangalore University for the grant of this status to private colleges affiliated with it.

According to the established norms, an NoC from Bangalore University is required to be submitted to the University Grants Commission (UGC) for the grant of deemed university status. Christ College was granted this status on July 22, based on an order from the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development, following recommendations from the UGC. However, the process leading up to this decision became a point of contention.

The State government had previously decided not to recommend any institution for the conferment of deemed status. Despite this, Bangalore University's Registrar, Sanjay Vir Singh, sent a letter to the UGC on May 13, which, while not explicitly recommending an NoC for Christ College, mentioned that the university had no objections to the enrollment of students already approved by the university. This statement was interpreted by the UGC as an NoC. Some members of the Bangalore University Syndicate viewed this as a violation of both the university's and the State government's decisions.

When questioned, Mr. Singh clarified that he had included the Principal Secretary's letter with his communication to the UGC and that these letters had been approved by the Vice-Chancellor

Discriminatory and Illegal Higher cut-off for female students[41]

Christ University, among other institutions in Bengaluru, has been reported to set higher cutoff marks for female students seeking admission into Pre-University (PU) courses, a practice criticized as illegal and discriminatory. This policy was ostensibly implemented to maintain a gender balance in classrooms, with the Vice Chancellor of Christ University citing the need to avoid classrooms filled predominantly with female students.[42]

Legal experts argue that such practices contravene the principles of affirmative action, which typically aim to support historically marginalized or disadvantaged groups by offering them opportunities for advancement, not by imposing higher barriers. This reversal of affirmative action's intent, by penalizing girls for their academic performance under the guise of achieving gender balance, lacks a reasonable or legal basis, undermining the equity and justice that educational admissions policies should uphold.
