        A casual staff of the College who was appointed at the request of the then university nominee (and current govt nominee) of the College Governing Body has been harassing and bullying all staff and students. Any complaints are suppressed by the govt nominee because of his political connections. In January, the casual staff barged into an exam hall without permission and snatched away the answerscript of an examinee. On being questioned by the invigilator, she accused him of sexual harassment and molestation. There were many witnesses who can verify that there was no sexual harassment involved. This casual staff has consistently threatened to file false molestation charges against male staff and students over the years. She has also physically assaulted the college Principal in the past. A week later, she filed an FIR against the professor. The principal also filed an FIR against her when all faculty complained. The next day, the govt nominee along with the President and one more member, tried to threaten and suppress these complaints once again. The govt nominee also heckled the female students who had come to complain against the casual staff. In protest against the unethical and biased attitude of this govt nominee all staff and students walked out and staged a peaceful protest in front of the College gate. This barricade was lifted at 11 pm that night.
        In view of the unethical practices of the govt nominee and the harassment of staff and students of the college, the Teaching and Nonteaching representatives to the Governing Body have resigned in protest.
        Can anyone help with the following?
        1. Now we are getting threatsof defamation suits for allegations against the nominee (politician). (We have proof of his unethical activities)
        2. The temp staff was fired on the grounds that her services were no longer required. She is trying to approach the high court for unlawful termination.

          You did not mention what unethical activities was done by the nominee and what you people did for him to threaten you for defamation suit. However, defamation can only happen if you have said something false about him. If you have proof supporting your claims, then you are safe.
