JNU Teachers' Association Criticizes Professor's Dismissal Over Harassment Allegations
The Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers' Association (JNUTA) has criticized the university administration's dismissal of Prof. Angomcha Bimol Akoijam over sexual harassment allegations, calling the decision 'hasty' and alleging procedural violations. JNUTA contends that the vice-chancellor overstepped authority by bypassing the Executive Council, which holds dismissal powers under Statute 30 of the JNU Act. The association also raised concerns about the selective leak of the internal committee's report, citing breaches of confidentiality and due process.
