New Delhi: The SAARC established South Asian University (SAU) has been functioning without a president, its topmost post, for more than two years now. Talking to ETV Bharat, a senior official at the SAU, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that they are looking forward to appoint a regular president and will also hold a general body meeting. "Also, we are shifting to the new campus in the next two months," the official said.
No governing body meeting has taken place at SAU since 2017 and the university has also failed to meet its deadline to shift to its new campus at Maidan Garhi on June 1. Asked about the resignation by the Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Chairperson of the Sociology last month, the official clarified that it was "not due to discontent" as reported in the media but rather a "routine" affair. "Recently, all the non-teaching staff was promoted and for faculty members it is a routine thing. People are promoted here on regular basis," he added.
