Two days after the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) issued a directive prohibiting faculty and students from organising or participating in demonstrations within and in front of the gates of its campuses, six of the institute’s student bodies issued a joint statement demanding the revocation of the “unconstitutional” circular. The circular has been denounced as undemocratic and dictatorial, as it bans all meetings and demonstrations on campus under the guise of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).
