Over 500 academics from Indian and foreign universities have criticised the “arbitrary” suspension of four faculty members of the South Asian University in Delhi and sought the intervention of the foreign ministers of the Saarc countries, which fund the university.
In a letter to the ministers on Saturday, the academics urged the revocation of the June 16 suspension of Snehashish Bhattacharya, Srinivas Burra, Irfanullah Farooqi and Ravi Kumar, who had opposed the university’s actions against agitating students. The university has accused the four of misconduct.
