GLC Reverses Course, Allows Alumni Podcast to Continue
Imagine a school that sent a message saying it didn't like a podcast made by its former students.
The podcast was about law, and the school wanted the students to stop using the school's name.
Many people, including a retired judge who used to work at the school, thought this was unfair.
After hearing what everyone had to say, the school changed its mind.
Now, the podcast can keep going, but it has to make it clear that it's run by former students and not the school itself.
GLC withdrew a notice regarding the 'GLC Law and Lore' social media channel.
The initial notice from July 31 had demanded the removal of 'GLC' from the channel's name.
The college's Governing Council reversed the decision after criticism from alumni, including a former judge.
The council now allows the podcast to continue, requesting a disclaimer it is an alumni initiative.
Former Bombay High Court judge Justice Gautam Patel criticized the initial notice as unjustified.
