New Delhi: Four more departments at Ashoka University have issued statements affirming their solidarity with former economics professor Sabyasachi Das.
Ashoka’s sociology and anthropology, English, and creative writing departments issued their statements on Wednesday (August 16), while its political science department released its statement on Thursday (August 17).
The latter three departments wrote that their faculty will be “unable to carry forward [their] teaching obligations in the spirit of critical enquiry and the fearless pursuit of truth that characterise [their] classrooms” until their demands on academic freedom are met.
