Issue #2. Abusive comments
This is not the most important issue to address but I address it now because it is so in-your-face. There were abuses and allegations made against the VC and faculty by a couple of anonymous readers. Some of them were so critical, personal and abusive that they could put people with normal sensibilities to shame.
The sad part is that there was no proof or source for any of them. Leave alone proof, the comment-maker didn’t even give a basis for the allegations. Why we are concerned about this? Not because of personal love for the VC, people, but because (1) they are outrageously defamatory, without any basis or proof whatsoever, and (2) the bad blood these might just create now.

Issue #3. Comparison with other law schools
The fact that comparisons have been made between HNLU and other law schools (especially NLSIU) throughout the course of this strike cannot be denied at all. When we also resorted to pointing out factual errors and facts about other law schools, the argument made was that just because something wrong also exists in other law schools, it doesn’t mean that we should not protest. There are 3 responses to this –
1) The fact that other law schools also face these problems just shows that we are overreacting. There are other fraternal universities which are peacefully protesting against these very things for which we are striking and taking away from the stability and integrity of the college.
2) That even if these matters are very pressing, the issue of recruitments is way more pressing. If something prejudices that, then there should be some very very pressing reasons for going ahead with that.
3) Comparisons with other law schools should be drawn at the time they were 5-6 years old and not as of today.
