Head of Chulalongkorn U. student council removed from his post
13 Sept 07:59Key points summarised by AI
Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal, President of Chulalongkorn University’s Student Council, was removed after a 10-point deduction from his "behavioural score" for violating student regulations.
The violation stemmed from organizing a video talk for new students during orientation without notifying the Student Affairs Office.
The talk featured anti-establishment protest leaders and an exiled critic, with one speaker making a "vulgar gesture" that the university deemed against good Thai tradition and potentially divisive.
Netiwit was faulted for his complicity in organizing the unauthorized event and inviting the controversial speakers, leading to his automatic removal from the presidency.
