One of the most sought after universities in the world, the University of Toronto, is the center of a dispute these days. The reason is an incident that shocked the students, administration and people on social media. During a lecture, the professor made such an act in front of the students, who were shocked 500 students. Indeed, the incident took place in a class in the Psychology section of the University of Toronto, where Professor Dr. Steve Jordans presented on ‘Introduction to Biological and Cognitive Psychology’. Meanwhile, a porn movie has started to walk on the big screen of the class. This incident was so sudden and surprising that the students could not understand whether it had happened accidentally or intentionally. Students’ reaction: Some surprised, someone laughed, shortly after this incident, students in class began to deliver different reactions. Some students were seen laughing, while others were completely uncomfortable and shocked. One student said: “We didn’t even imagine anything like that. It was very embarrassing to suddenly walk such a video amid studies in class.” Some students recorded the incident on their Snapchat accounts and uploaded them to social media, which made the video viral. Within a few hours, this matter became a discussion topic on online platforms and people began to raise questions about this movement of the professor. Was it a mistake or intentional? Although the university administration and the department concerned did not comment directly on this incident, the claim of a student gives a new turn to the whole case. The student wrote in a post on social media: ‘I was present in this lecture and I can say with 100% confidence that it was not an accident. It looked completely part of the lecture. ‘ After this statement, the question arose whether the professor really shows this video with any academic purpose? Or was it really a serious technical lapse? When the reaction of the University Administration spoke to a spokeswoman for the University of Toronto Scarboro (UTSC) about the matter, he said: “We do not comment on personal matters, but we can say that we take all the students’ concerns seriously and encourage them to talk openly to the staff about any uncomfortable situation.” Although the administration did not clearly say that the incident was the debt of the professor or was deliberately used, but given the seriousness of the case, it is speculated that the internal investigation began. Was it a psychological experiment? Some experts believe that such video clips are sometimes used to understand psychological reactions in the psychology topic. If the professor is intended to understand the emotional or practical reactions of the students, it may be part of a research study. But in such experiments, it is generally mandatory to get pre -information or consent, which is not seen in this case. After this incident, there is a view on social media, and two types of opinions have appeared on social media. Some people described it as a serious negligence and demanded action from the university administration. At the same time, some people also defended this incident by calling it a ‘new dimension of the modern education system’. One user tweeted: “If it was a psychological experiment, students had to be told earlier. Suddenly, if it showed something like that, they could affect their mental state.” At the same time, another user wrote: “If it was an error, it is very shameful. But if it was done intentionally, it is a more serious matter.” This incident is essential for balance between education and dignity, and has again launched a debate that what is appropriate to show in the name of education? Does the professor have the right to show such material without the consent of the students? Together with education in universities, maintaining morality and dignity is just as important. What happened at the University of Toronto was a surprising and unusual event. Whether it is deliberate experiment or a technical omission, it raised many questions about the education system, responsibility of teachers and sensitivity to students’ feelings. In the coming days, it will be interesting to see what the university makes an official statement about it and whether any disciplinary action is taken against the professor. But it is certain that this experience has never become a care for students. Class education is needed, but dignity and sensitivity are equally important.
