Non-academic Interference Denounced By 126 College Of Medicine Students

A group of second-year students at Kuwait University's College of Medicine protested discussions about the video crisis that a professor brought up during one of the classes.

"The video clip aired during one of the lectures at the college was an explanation of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in the context of the educational program," according to a statement signed by 126 male and female students. The faculty member who presented the clip was anxious to present the sections that suited the scientific material in a way that did not contravene public morals, but the matter has been exaggerated.

"We condemn the behavior of some colleagues who used external parties to publicize the issue when the issue could have been communicated directly with the university administration," the statement continued, "and that the principle is to proceed with the matter formally and submit it to the administration for investigation of any shortcomings, if any, without the interference of any other party."

"In addition, we reaffirm our faith in the investigation committee, which will reveal the details of the incident with complete impartiality, will do justice to the right and will ensure that the academic field's freedom, which was established for the benefit of curricula and students, is not violated."
