Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Pal Ahluwalia

The University of the South Pacific’s Council has resolved yesterday that it is terminating the proceedings initiated against the Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Pal Ahluwalia.

The USP Council says this is based on the detailed and painstaking work undertaken by the Special Executive Committee.

It says the Special Executive Committee decided on 24th August 2020 that there were no allegations where the consensus or clear majority view were deemed material.

Ahluwalia says they are elated by the news that the USP Council has cleared all allegations against him.

He says it has been a difficult and challenging time, but they must move forward and take USP to greater heights and ensure that students are able to get the best possible education.

Ahluwalia also thanked God for hearing the prayers of so many people throughout the region and for good governance, integrity and ethics to prevail.
