Student who took uni to court over failed assignment set to learn fate


Australian Associated Press 11 October 2018

A Melbourne journalism student will today learn the result of a Supreme Court action he launched in a bid to strike out a fail grade for a university assignment about dogs.

Monash University student Chinmay Naik, 23, was failed in 2017 for a video assignment about the negative stereotypes surrounding certain dog breeds and then failed again when it was re-marked.

But he believes he was wronged and took court action, seeking a judge to strike out the assignment result and declare a pass for the subject and course.

Mr Naik, who has represented himself in court, believes the same examiner marked the assignment on both occasions and claims Monash did not follow proper protocols.

He also sought extra time because of a disability but Monash University rejected his request for special consideration, leaving him without enough time.

Mr Naik believes he can win the court battle but previously admitted it would be a “brave” decision for the judge to make.

He previously tried to get the assignment result overturned by the Human Rights Commission and the Ombudsman, but those bids were unsuccessful.

Supreme Court Justice Melinda Richards will deliver her judgment on Friday.

A WANNABE journalist who took a Melbourne university to court over a failed assignment about dogs says he still wants to work in the media.

Monash University student Chinmay Naik failed a video assignment about negative stereotypes around certain dog breeds in 2017 and failed again when it was re-marked.

The 23-year-old wanted a judge to strike the result from his academic record and declare a pass for the project but instead the case was dismissed.

“Life doesn’t end here,” Mr Naik said outside the Supreme Court on Friday. The student had “good aspirations” and still wanted to pursue a career as a journalist.

“I respect the judgment and we’ll see where to go from here”,” Mr Naik added.

“Sometimes things don’t go your way, doesn’t mean that you were wrong.”

Justice Melinda Richards dismissed the case and ordered the aspiring journalist pay the university’s legal costs, understood to be about $8000.

“I encourage you to move on” Judge Richards said when handing down her decision.

“I understand you will be disappointed by this outcome.” It was “not the end of the world” to fail an assignment and she advised the student to take up another subject instead.

The mark can’t be undone, the judge added.

Mr Naik had also taken his case to the Victorian Equal Opportunities and Human Rights Commission and the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal which deferred any action pending the court outcome.
