        Hey everyone,

        I’m posting here because I need to share a really upsetting experience my friend and I had a couple of years ago, and I’m hoping to get some advice and support from the community. This happened when we were in our second year at the Delhi School of Professional Studies and Research (DSPSR).

        The issue involves the former dean of DSPSR, Dr. Seema Kumari. Dr. Kumari has since left DSPSR and is now reportedly a Dean and Professor at Echelon Institute of Technology, Faridabad, Haryana (her LinkedIn isΒ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-sima-kumari/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-sima-kumari/)).

        During my second year at DSPSR, my friend and I were both harassed by Dr. Kumari because of our clothing. I was wearing a skirt that was just slightly above the knee and a t-shirt. My friend was wearing a sleeveless dress that fell below the knee. There is no established dress code at Delhi School of Professional Studies and Research[5](https://dspsr.in/pdf/studenthandbook.pdf).

        Dr. Kumari made inappropriate comments about our bodies and what we were wearing. She body-shamed my friend and made me feel incredibly uncomfortable and humiliated.

        Has anyone else experienced something similar at DSPSR or any other IP University-affiliated college? What actions can we take now, even though she has left the college? Is there any way to report this formally, even after the fact?

        Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated. I want to prevent this from happening to other students in the future.

        Thanks for listening.
