AS Kumari met the students on Friday, March 31 after students staged a night-long protest demanding immediate action against the senior faculty members, who allegedly sexually harassed the students.
Students at Kalakshetra had felt let down by the institution's attempts to brush the matter under the carpet instead of taking the allegations seriously.
The students have also sent a letter to the Union Minister of Culture and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin seeking the dismissal of the Kalakshetra Director and four other faculty members.
The students of Rukmini Devi College of Fine Arts, Kalakshetra Foundation continue their sit-in protest demanding the immediate dismissal of faculty members.
Stalin said that a team of officials is conducting an inquiry at Kalakshetra and that a team under a female inspector has also been deployed to ensure the security of the female students/protesters on the campus.
