IIM-Ahmedabad professor shares students’ request for deadline extension: ‘India vs South Africa tonight’
Hindustan TimesAn Associate Professor at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad was amused by an email she received from her students requesting a two-day extension on a deadline so they could watch the India vs South Africa T20 World Cup final in peace. They made a compelling argument: “As you may be aware, the India vs South Africa World Cup final is taking place today, a monumental event that holds significant emotional weight for many of us. An extension of two days would allow us to balance this important occasion with our academic responsibilities effectively,” the email concluded. They have a long legacy, I am sure you know it better.” Another said that the students’ demand was “quite legitimate.” India and South Africa will clash tonight at the Kensington Oval in Barbados for the final match of the T20 World Cup.
