Netiwit removed at CU
STUDENT activist Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal has been removed from his post as president of the Student Council of Chulalongkorn University (CU) following his behaviour during an oath-taking ceremony in front of the statues of Thailand’s two late Kings.
Netiwit and four other members of the Student Council – Suphalak Bumroongkit, Thornthep Maneecharoen, Thatthep Ruangprapaikijseree and Shinawatra Ngamlamai – lost their seats on the grounds that their behaviour points were each deducted by 25 points, causing them to be disqualified, according to the university’s regulations.
Netiwit did not accept the decision, however, and wrote on Facebook: “Ultimately, we are still fighting together to appeal this order to CU.”
