Amity University review: Formal complaint against Dr. Garima Kotnala for unprofessional and manipulative behavior

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding Dr. Garima Kotnala, a faculty member at Amity University Noida, for exhibiting unprofessional behavior that has caused emotional distress and humiliation to a male individual associated with her. Such behavior is highly inappropriate, especially within an academic institution that values respect and ethical conduct.

Key Issues:
1. Manipulation and Exploitation:
• Dr. Kotnala has allegedly friend-zoned the individual and used him for her personal and professional work under false pretenses.
• The individual, trusting her intentions, has gone out of his way to assist her, only to be manipulated and taken advantage of.
2. Public Insult and Humiliation:
• Despite his genuine efforts and support, Dr. Kotnala reportedly insulted him in front of others, causing significant emotional distress and public embarrassment.
3. Unethical Conduct:
• Such manipulative behavior is akin to emotional exploitation and reflects poorly on the standards of professionalism expected from faculty members at Amity University.
4. Creating a Negative Environment:
• Her actions not only harm the individual involved but also create a negative and toxic atmosphere, discouraging mutual respect and trust among colleagues and students.

Requested Actions:
1. Investigation:
• Conduct a thorough investigation into the allegations against Dr. Kotnala, including gathering statements from the individual involved and any witnesses to the incidents.
2. Counseling and Awareness:
• Recommend counseling or training sessions for Dr. Kotnala to address ethical behavior, emotional intelligence, and respectful interactions in a professional setting.
3. Disciplinary Action:
• If the allegations are substantiated, take appropriate disciplinary measures to ensure accountability and to deter such behavior in the future.
4. Fostering a Respectful Environment:
• Reinforce the university’s commitment to fostering a respectful and professional environment by emphasizing the importance of mutual respect and ethical behavior.

Such conduct is unbecoming of a faculty member and must be addressed to uphold the values of Amity University. I trust that the administration will take swift and appropriate measures to address this matter and prevent any further occurrences of such behavior.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please feel free to reach out for additional details if required.
