Bhubaneswar, Aug 10: Academic activities at Ravenshaw University are continuing smoothly despite the recent campus row, the Ravenshaw University Teachers’ Association (RUTA) said on Monday. The teachers’ body said regular classes, postgraduate admissions and undergraduate spot admissions are being conducted as scheduled without disruption.

A RUTA member said all professors are attending classes and discharging their academic responsibilities. Postgraduate admissions began last Saturday and are progressing, while spot admissions for undergraduate courses are also underway.

The association said faculty members are also continuing their research projects and other academic work. It maintained that there has been no chaotic situation on the campus and the overall academic environment remains stable.

However, RUTA reiterated its demand for withdrawal of a letter written by Kataka Sadar MLA Prakash Chandra Sethi to Odisha Legislative Assembly Speaker Surama Padhy, seeking action against Ravenshaw University’s Head of the Department of Education and Chief Warden, Dr Sudarshan Mishra.

Sethi had sought action against Mishra over alleged misconduct during a meeting convened to resolve an ongoing student protest.

RUTA said the Vice-Chancellor has been holding discussions with teachers and assured them that the issue would be resolved through mutual understanding. The association said withdrawal of the letter remains its primary demand.
