A group of activists have lodged a formal complaint at the Agassaim Police Station against an assistant professor of the Goa University for allegedly stealing a question paper to help a second-year postgraduate female student secure high marks in a examination. According to activist Kashinath Shetye, the matter was brought to the notice of Goa University but no action was taken and the incident was hushed up by the Registrar and Vice Chancellor. The worst part was that despite the gravity of the matter, the University administration allegedly issued only a warning to the professor and did not cancel the examination or issue fresh question papers. Now, how can the university administration treat this matter so lightly, allow the professor to casually play with the future of students of Goa University and make a mockery of our education system? Well, the university administration, instead of initiating a so-called 'inquiry' into the above incident should suspend the accused professor immediately and strict legal action should be taken against those involved to ensure fair education for all.
