The students’ collective at TISS are demanding that the administration withdraw the latest hostel policy
Amid ongoing tensions between the students’ collective and the administration of Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), a new issue has surfaced regarding the recently released hostel policy for the incoming first-year postgraduate (PG) batch. The Progressive Students Forum (PSF) has voiced strong disapproval, asserting that the administration’s new policy demonstrates lack of interest in extending welfare measures to maximum number of students.
According to PSF representatives, TISS is retreating from its primary responsibility of providing hostel facilities to all students, a crucial aspect for any public-funded educational institute. “The latest hostel policy released by the TISS administration for the incoming first-year PG batch reflects the administration’s utter disinterest in extending welfare measures for a large number of students,” stated a PSF spokesperson.
