The University of Calicut has dismissed K. Haris, Assistant Professor, Department of English, from service after he was found guilty of misbehaving with a girl student.
This was decided at a Syndicate meeting held on Wednesday. The Syndicate had on January 29 approved the findings of an internal inquiry committee that found Mr. Haris guilty of committing sexual assault. Mr. Haris had been suspended from service since July 2021. The suspension was based on a report of the internal cell which inquired into a complaint she had lodged with the head of the department and the Vice Chancellor. Mr. Haris allegedly sent explicit messages to her over phone and tried to grab her at a public place. He had joined the university only in early 2021.
