Q&A: A Lecturer Who Causes the Students to Repeatedly Violate a Severe Prohibition
A Lecturer Who Causes the Students to Repeatedly Violate a Severe Prohibition
Question
A certain lecturer does not come to teach in person; everything is done only through the college’s online system.
He devised a difficult, exhausting course plan that burns an enormous amount of everyone’s time.
He also keeps pressuring us constantly with assignments and very tight deadlines to submit them—in short, it’s literally a malicious program meant to torment the students.
Of course, everyone can only respond to him through the computer, so there is no one to talk to.
With every assignment, everyone gets furious with him all over again, and it really gets to the point of intense hatred for this person, so they repeatedly violate “You shall not hate your brother in your heart.”
We already went through a bachelor’s degree. We saw difficult lecturers, but this kind of wickedness is rare. He is simply abusive.
Is it permissible to approach the college administration so that they stop employing someone who causes everyone to violate “do not hate”?
The question is real—the distress is truly terrible.
Answer
Absolutely. Why not?
