Exploitation and Harassment is not new in the academic and educational institutions circles.

Cases of sexual harassment and exploitation are not unusual in our country. In every state, city or any rural area whether he/she is a student, youngster or an adult age is now suffering a lot due to exploitation. And if we keenly observe the condition in the Educational areas, which is now became worst then ever before. Teachers molesting students in their care, seniors ragging the new entrance students through sexually pressurizing them which later results in suicide cases.

Not only these, hostel wardens bullying the teenagers into sexual activity. There are many places where to get an admission or to pass any interview or something an individual has to pass through the sexual activity which anywhere breaks his emotions apart into pieces internally. And the list is endless. This is also a hush topic which is conveniently swept under the carpet as the victim of such abuses rarely speaks out.

There are many cases were many girls, boys and children are being sexually assaulted. Recently, a case where the chemistry professor of Karnataka University who has been demoted for sexually harassing a PHD student in his care has focused public attention at last on an appalling ”education” activity. The professor deserved a more strong punishment than a mere demotion in rank.

So in such cases, if they might have taken a strict decision and make that professor realizes his guilt can help in stopping more culprits to think before committing such kind of mistake.
