He said:"In the language of business,our students are our clients or customers. They should be happy with the way that we serve them. Of course,we have the duty to form and discipline them. But our students can feel whether we are fake or sincere,whether we do it as power-tripping or in service to their growth... (W)e should take care of the most vulnerable among us."
