A section of teachers of Ravenshaw University here staged a one-day cease-work on campus on Friday, demanding non-interference by outsiders in university matters.
Wearing black badges, 88 members of Ravenshaw University Teachers’ Association (RUTA) went on mass leave and staged a demonstration before the vice-chancellor’s office on campus here.
The teachers’ body staged the protest following their face-off with Cuttack Sadar MLA Prakash Chandra Sethi.
Attending a meeting held earlier this month to discuss issues of the varsity’s East Hostel students, the MLA alleged that the chief warden of hostels, Sudarshan Mishra, behaved inappropriately with him.
He had taken up the matter with Assembly Speaker Surama Padhy.
Later, Mishra along with wardens and deputy wardens of all 13 hostels on campus, was transferred by the university authority.
