Prejudiced Officials

Prejudiced Officials

About two months ago, I had gone to a university with my cousin who was going to join the university. While we were waiting at the administration office of the hostel to complete the admission process, a young lady who, from her own speech, studies in a reputed private university came to admit her younger sister into the female hostel. Surprisingly enough, the officials refused to initiate the process due to the absence of her parents. When she mentioned that her parents were, then, abroad, she was asked to present a male relative who would be the acting guardian for her sister. She replied that as she had completed the whole admission process, she could take charge of her sister. But the officials did not pay attention to her since she was a woman! I was thunderstruck! If the officials of an educational institution think in this fashion, how will the students be enlightened?
