The authorities at Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology in Sambalpur, Odisha have taken strict action against two professors for their inappropriate behavior. According to official sources, both professors were accused of sexual harassment and the university has suspended them pending further investigation.
A senior administrative officer confirmed that separate inquiries were being conducted against the accused professors. In both cases, they failed to appear before the university's board of management to present their defense. One professor from the production engineering department was accused of misconduct towards a female colleague, while the other, an associate professor in the mathematics department, was alleged to have misbehaved with a female research scholar.
The university has taken disciplinary action against both professors and suspended them on August 13. This unfortunate incident comes just days after another case involving an assistant professor in the Integrated BEd department of FM College. The professor was suspended and arrested after a female student tragically died by self-immolation on July 14, following alleged sexual harassment by the faculty member.
It is disheartening to see such acts of misconduct and harassment within the education system. The university has taken the necessary steps to ensure that the accused professors are held accountable for their actions. Let us hope that this serves as a warning to others and that strict measures are taken to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
The university has assured its commitment to providing a safe and conducive environment for all students and staff members. The authorities are determined to root out any form of harassment or misconduct and have urged students and faculty to come forward and report any such incidents. Let us hope that these steps lead to a positive change and create a safer and more respectful environment for all. This is PTI reporting.
