Anna University — Verbal abuse by the professor

Address:

Anna university campus, guindy

I am a final year UG student from School of Architecture and Planning (SAP), Anna University Campus, Guindy. We are doing the thesis project right now.

HOD of the Department, Dr.Sithalakshmi, is the senior most faculty and one of the thesis coordinator for the final year. During our thesis review, she literally uses abusive words and attacks personally. Sentences like will slap you, you have a mental block, you are a beggar, you are a failure, unfit to live, die, directly affects the mental health. The verbal abuse is so much intense that most of the students gets stressed and depressed for a long time. This affects the mental health of each and every students studying under Dr.Sithalakshmi.

I myself, got into depression, stress, crying and going for medical treatments right now. Also after hearing all these we are not able to concentrate on our works too.

Please do consider and take necessary steps to solve this for the betterment of students health and well-being
