And Higher Education Strikes Again!

This time, in India:

Students of M.Sc. nutrition class of a famous girls' college doing their internship in the medical university were allegedly asked by the Assistant Professor to remove their aprons during a lecture demonstration. Although some of the girls complied, others refused as they found the request highly objectionable. They walked out of the room in anger and later reported the matter to university authorities. In their complaint the girls accused the professor of trying to make sexual advances using the demonstration as an excuse.

Professor Rama Kant who has been asked to probe the incident, flatly denies the charge. There was no sexual harassment involved and the faculty member was merely displaying 'percussion technique' for diagnosing empyma, Rama Kant claims.
