JNU sacks Congress MP professor over harassment allegations
Original: jnu
Jawaharlal Nehru University has terminated a professor, who is also a Congress member of parliament, after 11 students accused him of sexual harassment. The Indian Express reported the dismissal, which has drawn attention to how the university handled complaints spanning multiple students and to the political implications of a sitting MP losing an academic post.
Why now: A sitting Congress MP losing his professorship over serious harassment allegations from 11 students is a high-profile development in India.
