Four professors of South Asian University (SAU) in Delhi have been suspended over allegations of misconduct. They have been accused of “running a Marxist study circle and inciting student protest on campus”, it is learnt.
The suspensions come months after the university — an initiative of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) grouping — was rocked by student protests seeking an increase in the monthly stipend for Master’s and PhD programmes, among other demands.
