Sense seems to have finally prevailed in the hallowed corridors of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, the premier city university, as the administration rescinded its August 19 ban on the left-leaning Progressive Students Forum (PSF), labelling it “illegal” and “unauthorised”.

The move comes in the wake of mounting criticism and nationwide solidarity for the students. Besides revoking the ban, the administration has also tweaked its controversial Honour Code, which incoming Master’s students were required to mandatorily sign as part of the admission process.
