VISAKHAPATNAM: Andhra University was embroiled in a controversy when a professor and a teaching associate reportedly sought sexual favours from a girl student and a scholar. Parents of one of the victims filed a complaint with the varsity authorities on Monday . The matter came to light on Tuesday after the university handed over the matter to the women redressal cell for an inquiry.
A professor in meteorology and oceanography department allegedly harassed an M Tech (atmospheric sciences) student a week ago, who immediately informed the matter to her parents. "We have asked the women redressal cell to look into the matter," rector PVGD Prasada Reddy told TOI.
Earlier, a student had complained against the same professor and a teaching associate alleging that they sought sexual favours from her. However, AU Science College principal V Veeraiah said that he has not received any complaint so far.
There were several allegations of sexual harassment against some of the teaching faculties earlier. Four teaching faculties of AU Pharmacy College were named in a CBI chargesheet recently for favouring private colleges and extending affiliations to them in violation of MCInorms.
