The South Asian University (SAU) has asked the students enrolling in its fresh academic session to give an undertaking that they will neither join any agitation or strike nor participate in any activity that has a “tendency to disturb peace” on the campus. It has also asked them to declare that they are not suffering from any “psychiatric or psychological disorder”.
