After she asked for the help of her colleges, they demonstrated in a protest against the security ill-treatment, then the officer left her.

  
Students also protested against the methodology used with them since the beginning of the school year in terms of self-inspection procedures for female students by female guards, and for male students by college Guard officers, and that the situation that the student “Menna” was exposed to, was the fourth of its kind since the beginning of the school year last Saturday September 20.

  
Seven members of the faculty staff united in solidarity with the students; including Dr. Mustafa Abdul Khaliq, both of Dr.Mustafa Zidane, Deputy Dean of Higher Studies and Research, Dr. Ibrahim Shaker, Deputy Dean for Education and Students Affairs, Dr. Abdullah Al Marhoumy, head of Mechanics Department, Dr. Osama Abdul Moein, head of  Mechanical Power Department.

 
The Dean of faculty promised students to refer the officer to investigation and to transfer the supervisor guard of students to another College.

 

The students demanded to aggravate the matter to Dr. Ahmed Zaki Badr, Ain Shams University President, and to Dr. Hani Helal, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, threatening of aggravating the matter in case of defaulting what the Dean promised.
