New Delhi: Delhi University ’s Hindu College has issued show-cause notices to two office-bearers of the Hindu College Staff Association (HCSA) over statements linked to a no-confidence motion against principal Anju Srivastava, alleging that their actions had “tarnished the institutional standing and image” of the college.
The college has also witnessed protests since Sept 14 by HCSA members and a section of students over alleged corruption, privatisation and governance issues.
It said his actions had “dishonoured the college” and violated the prescribed code of conduct and the Code of Professional Ethics. Srivastava told TOI the notices were unrelated to the ongoing protests and had been issued over statements that, according to the governing body, had defamed the college. The notice also accused Lal of repeating the allegations before external agencies, including the media, despite DU stating that admissions were based on lists issued by it and that discrepancies resulted from an algorithmic glitch.
