Students are not skirting the issue: To protest the SNDT vice chancellor’s circular against ‘indecent’ clothing on campus, college students from across Mumbai will gather outside the varsity’s Churchgate campus on Friday afternoon in shorts and skirts. The Vidyarthi Bharti Sangathan, a students’ union, has called for the protest.

In a letter issued by the president of the Sangathan on Thursday, it has been stated that the college should not force its student and give lessons about what they should wear while attending college. The organisation has also demanded the withdrawal of the offending circular.
