Approach minority commission over trolling of students: DU teachers of St Stephen's College

New Delhi: The teachers of Delhi University's St Stephen's College have adopted a resolution that the college should approach the minority commission and the women's commission following the trolling of some members of a students' cell on social media.

Earlier this month, a Supreme Court lawyer had claimed that the college cancelled an invite to him for an interactive session at a leadership conclave after a group of students of its Gender Studies Cell objected to it.

An online news article talking about the event and similar instances was shared on Twitter, following which the members of the cell faced trolling and even their contact details were shared on the microblogging platform. A meeting of the Staff Association of St Stephen's College was held online on March 11, where the issue was discussed.

"The association took strong exception to the fact that personal information of staff and students, including names, addresses and phone numbers, were made public on Twitter," said Nandita Narain, its president.
