Feedback

Here is what Apurva Rawal, the student who shared viral video, says:

“So this happened today in class, a girl had her feet up and the professor called the police after calling our class uncivil. This professor stopped class entirely and stepped out to call the police just because one student had her feet up on a seat in front of her. Mind you she wasn’t talking or interrupting lecture.”

Officials say that there are 2  investigations launched. And the faculty member has been removed from the class for the rest of the semester.
