Not long ago, Latvian Television reported on the possible sexual harassment of female students by the lecturers of Jāzeps Vītolas Latvian Music Academy (JVLMA). The state police started criminal proceedings, but this news greatly shook the study environment at the academy. The current rector of JVLMA, Guntars Prānis, announced that he is resigning.
According to the Facebook post, the academy has started improving the safety of the study environment. “The first box – installed! We continue active work in improving the safety of the study environment! It is planned to equip several JVLMA classrooms with such boxes over time,” reports the academy.
The public’s comments are very stinging and derisive.
Ilze: Now we will also have to control those who will stand and peek at the window.
Aleksei: Don’t forget to do it in the toilet and in the rectory as well.
Dagnia: Stupidity, and who will be the trickster to control it like a prison..?
Artis: Nice box, but the reason is humiliating. Everyone suspects everyone of everything.
Oli: How does the box guarantee security? As soon as the box detects something suspicious with its sensors, the winner of the “Anti-Harassment Security Project” “Warning Aria” of Lodziņa is played, and after the 1st beat, the JVMA moral council, TV, rector and the new reserve teacher rush in.
Uldis: A complete disgrace to the Academy of Music. Mainly because nothing is solved that way. The report to the police is replaced by a peeping window, but another Barbie will not like a teacher and Logina will once again be after the teacher’s head.
Inguna: The prison doors of Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union served as a model?
Regrettably.
Ilva: There are also devices for eavesdropping on conversations? It is a visible form meant for the eyes, but you can’t hear the conversation and its content?
It is true that there are a small number of commentators who believe that such a solution – boxes – can also serve to strengthen the security of the study environment.
