The MSU Syndicate Wednesday unanimously decided to rusticate a student of the Faculty of Fine Arts for allegedly creating controversial artworks that led to a protest by right-wing groups on the campus on May 5 and saw three FIRs being registered. Vice-chancellor VK Shrivastava said the Syndicate has also decided to issue show-cause notices to faculty members, among others, involved with the incident.
The student, Kundan Yadav, who belonged to the Sculpture Department, was rusticated after a nine-member fact-finding committee tabled its report before the Syndicate Tuesday. The Syndicate also decided to form two committees to ensure that faculties adhere to a “code of conduct”.
Shrivastava said, “The Syndicate discussed around 26 issues. One of the issues was the Fine Arts incident. It was unanimously decided that as per the report of the fact-finding committee, the student who had prepared such an art work will be rusticated from the MSU. Show-cause notices will be issued to others, including the teacher, who supervised the project directly, the supervisor of the teacher, the vice-dean and the dean himself. Once their explanations come in, we will take further action.”
