Death of a professor

December 21, 2006
An elderly professor sees something wrong with student elections, and blows the whistle. A mob attacks him, he collapses. He dies.

What do you do?

Let us tell you what you don't do. You don't create an atmosphere where the deceased professor's son has to go from the President to the National Human Rights Commission, saying he wants justice. You don't create a situation where the Supreme Court has to intervene.

You don't make it a political issue. You don't treat an honest professor's death as a vote-bank ploy.

What made you angry in 2006? Tell us!
