CHENNAI, JULY 1

Offended over the alleged caste discrimination in the premier institution, an assistant professor of the IIT Madras is quitting his job from the institution on Thursday.

E-mail purportedly written by the professor is viral on social media.

In an e-mail, purportedly written by the assistant professor of economics, he apprises members of the faculty that one of the primary reasons for “my leaving the institute is the caste discrimination I have faced at the HSS (Humanities and Social Sciences) department since my joining in March 2019.” Asked if the professor has formally resigned and if he has made allegations of such discrimination in his letter of “resignation” to the institute, IIT-M did not respond immediately.

However, the premeier institute said in a statement, “the institute has no comments on this email. Any complaint received by the institute from employees and students is attended to promptly through the established process of redressing grievances.”

The professor could not be contacted immediately. The e-mail that was widely circulated in the social media was also retweeted by the Ambedkar Periyar Study Circle, an initiative of the IIT-M students.

“The discrimination came from individuals in position of power irrespective of their claimed political affiliations and gender. There were multiple specific instances of discrimination and I shall be pursuing appropriate actions to address the matter,” the mail claimed.

The institute should set up a panel to study the experiences of the Scheduled Caste and OBC faculty members, the mail added.
