Women’s Commission chairperson AS Kumari said she asked Revathi about the functioning of the institute’s internal committee, its members, and the efforts taken to make students aware of its existence and functioning.
The Kalakshetra Governing Board also assured students that assistant professor Hari Padman, who was arrested on charges of sexual harassment, will be suspended.
Hari Padman is one of the four faculty members who has been accused of sexual harassment at Kalakshetra Foundation’s Rukmini Devi College of Fine Arts in Chennai.
Students who protested on the campus had alleged that the IC chair and presiding director of the institute, Revathi Ramachandran, tried to protect the perpetrators.
