Kalakshetra Foundation Board sets committee to probe sexual harassment case, three professors suspended

The Kalakshetra Foundation Board has appointed an inquiry committee to look into the matter of alleged sexual harassment against several teachers. The move comes following the arrest of Assistant Professor Hari Padma who is facing similar allegations. The board has also terminated the services of three other teaching faculties; Sanjith Lal, Sai Krishnan, and Sreenath, who are repertory artists.

The foundation's board also held a meeting to review the situation and expressed concerns over the recent events. The Committee will be head by Justice K Kannan (retd). The committee also includes former Tamil Nadu DGP Letika Saran and Dr Shobha Varthaman.

During the meeting, the board also took other important decisions, including the reconstitution of the Internal Complaints Committee, the appointment of a new student counsellor, and the establishment of an independent advisory committee to strengthen the administration of the Kalakshetra Foundation. These were some of the major demands raised by students who struck classes, boycotted exams and protested last week.

"The Foundation has appealed to its students to attend the rescheduled examinations and has assured them that it is fully committed to ensuring their safety and security. The board’s decisions are aimed at providing a secure and inclusive environment for all students,” it said.
