The Association of University Teachers has written to the Governor-Chancellor of Periyar University alleging that the Vice-Chancellor’s action was “subjectively biased” and “patently prejudiced” against some of the University staff and faculty.
In a letter dated March 13 the association has demanded that the Governor take corrective steps. A faculty member, K. Prem Kumar, was suspended for speaking to the media in his capacity as general secretary of THE Periyar University Teachers’ Association while the code of conduct was in force.
However, the Registrar of the University had addressed his letter to Mr. Kumar, a faculty member in the University.
