Cornell University is an institution of higher education, brings students together from all walks of life. Here all students are provided with the amazing knowledge and skills to face the challenging world of today. But sometimes, things turn bad, like, where a student undresses because she’s upset over the professor, who apparently questions her shorts during a thesis presentation.

Presentation Gave A Turn

Letitia Chai 18, got up to give thesis presentation to her class and called for everyone to undress. Straightaway, among the 44 students present, 28 of them undresses gradually.



Fight Between Them

A week before this incident occurred after Chai had a fight with professor Rebekkah Maggor, over her wearing shorts during her thesis presentation trial ‘is that really what you would wear?’

Shocking Moment

Chai was so surprised at hearing the question, as she was wearing a jeans short shorts. She just didn’t know how to react at that given moment.

As per Chai, the professor questions was too short, as it was not at all an appropriate dress while speaking on a sensitive topic.



Appropriate Dress Code

Usually, there isn’t an actual dress code at the University but a student is expected to dress appropriately while giving a presentation because it represents the speaker’s character.

Earlier, a student was asked by Maggor to remove the cap he was wearing during class, in order to obey the dressing policy of the University.

A Men Took Professor's Side

The professor pinpointed that Chai is distracting the men’s attention from the significance of her presentation. However, a male international student agreed with the professor’s comment and said,

that a speaker has some “moral obligation” during a thesis presentation. Soon after this, Chai walked out of the room with two students, who supported her.



Chai's Reply To Her Professor

Matters turned worse when Maggor went behind Chai and told her, that what her mother would think of her daughters dressing sense.

Chai reacted by saying, that her mother is pretty cool about her shorts, as she’s a feminist, gender, and she is professor itself.

Chai's behavior

At that given moment Chai directly answered that she will be giving the best speech of her life when Maggor asked her, what is she gonna do now.

She walks back into the class, undresses and begins to give her thesis presentation to the rest of the students present.

Wrote On Facebook

Chai wrote on Facebook on that day all about the episode and straightaway there were 1050 likes and 165 shares. She went on to invite the public to her thesis presentation. But she never revealed the names of the students or the professor.

Phrasing By The Professor

The students also went on to write that there was an error in phrasing by the professor, as her intention for her students, was genuinely to encourage diversification.

She Set An Example

Chai feels that the only way to progress is to take everyone as equals, in spite of their clothing, appearance or any other differences.
