“# Mustafa Shaalan’s right” .. Anger at the dismissal of a student who criticized the overcrowding on the catwalks of Damanhour University

“# Mustafa Shaalan’s right,” hashtag spread on social networks, on behalf of student Mustafa Shaalan, who was fired from Damanhour University, after criticizing in a telephone intervention in the Wael Al-Ibrashi media program, the overcrowding of students inside university classrooms, as he said they submitted a request to Dr. Obaid Saleh, Rector Damanhour University, and a committee was formed to examine the matter, and the committee showed its anger at this situation.

“Complaints about the accumulation of students inside the stands of Damanhour University”. Thus began the crisis of the student, Mustafa Shaalan, on November 28, when he said in a telephone interview with the program “Ninth”, broadcast by Channel One of Egypt, that “the stands are all closed, they are working in the corridors, but, “We tried to solve the issue more than once, we are afraid for our families, we have Corona cases on the campus of the Faculty of Agriculture and they closed for two weeks, surely there was a mix between us and them.”

Hours after Shaalan’s complaint, he was referred for investigation by the College’s Disciplinary Board 3 days ago. Then, he was surprised by the issuance of a decision on Sunday to fire him for a year, that is, almost a month after the complaint.

After the dismissal decision, “Shaalan” said, on his page of the social network, “Facebook”: “I demand the intervention of the Minister of Education and the Rector of the University, I said that it would not be unfair to me. I have evidence and presented it in the investigation that was conducted with me, and an official document with me).

He added: “Everything that is happening to me is injustice. I don’t know what to do. There are no rumors, 30 students from the College of Agriculture will testify with me, and the first girl who was infected with the Corona virus at the university will testify with me.”
