Overview
- Daulat Ram College’s Internal Complaints Committee recommended suspending an assistant professor accused of sexual assault and harassment, and the university vice-chancellor has approved that recommendation.
- Satyawati College placed an associate professor on leave after a student complained of repeated calls and an obscene PDF and the college ICC is conducting an inquiry.
- The accused at Satyawati has denied the allegations and told the ICC he submitted a recorded reply, while both colleges have issued interim measures such as show-cause notices and mandatory leave.
- College ICC findings are due to go to each college’s governing body and then to the university for final action, a process students and unions say must be impartial and time-bound.
- The cases add to repeated harassment complaints on DU campuses and could prompt protests or escalation to regulators if inquiries are delayed or seen as partial, with outcomes likely to shape campus safety measures.
