Engineering students at Chulalongkorn University (file photo by Patipat Janthong)Engineering students of Chulalongkorn University have reacted angrily to an announcement that warns them to wear their uniforms correctly while outside classes otherwise they could face disciplinary action. The action includes getting their conduct scores deducted and being stripped of the right to get a scholarship and an honorary degree. The announcement was issued by the Engineering Faculty's student affairs office, effective from Feb 7. One of them wrote satirically that if this was applied to other faculties such as mass communications, architecture and political science, nearly all of the students would have been penalised. In the latest response, a group of engineering students issued a statement calling for the revocation of the announcement, saying that it was unnecessary and backward.
