The head of the Faculty of JAWAHARLAL Nera (JNU) was rejected by the accusation of sexual harassment including the Japanese Embassy official.
The alleged incident occurred a few months ago during the university event, according to JNU sources, quoted by the PTI press agency. University officials have confirmed that this is not an isolated case and in the past several complaints against a professor have been received, the agency said.
“This administration has committed itself to zero tolerance to sexual predators, rent and corrupt staff seekers,” said Santiskree Dhulipudi Pandit.
She said that release reflects the company at the university of the campus security and responsibility.
The decision was adopted by the University’s Executive Board – the highest legal body of the university – after a detailed internal investigation.
The victim is working on the Japanese embassy
The victim, who worked here at the Japanese Embassy, was reportedly harassed during the university event by a member of the faculty. She returned to Japan and filed a formal complaint.
The matter was alerted to the Indian Embassy through diplomatic channels and subsequently referred to the Ministry of External Affairs and University.
The Internal Complaint Committee (ICC) considered the fees as trusted. The Executive Council then recommended termination without any benefits.
The defendant has the right to appeal before the University of Appeal or to turn to the court.
“The Japanese official was in regular contact with the professor to coordinate the conference. She filed a complaint against the University ICC and submitted records of their conversations as evidence,” Jna Indian Express said.
The accused professor is only a year away from his retirement.
In another case, another member of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences was rejected in the research project. The case was referred to the Central Investigation Office (CBI). Based on the Research Committee report in the research project, two non -paying employees were also terminated.
In other cases, the faculty members faced sanctions, including the deduction of additions, censorship and compulsory sensitization training.
The Executive Council also approved the performance of elections for the representation of students in ICC – the first for the university – and ensured that students play a direct role in matters related to the sensitization and security of gender.
This administration committed itself to zero tolerance to sexual predators, rent and corrupt staff seekers.
“These decisions are a strong news that there will be no compromise on integrity and ethics at the university,” said a higher official JNA.
