The Fiji Times edition of Thursday, February 25, 2021, we continue with our follow up on the situation at the University of the South Pacific.
This time around the Fiji Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Commission director Ashwin Raj has broken his silence on the issue and has said that there should be an independent investigation into all issues arising out of the University of the South Pacific.
The investigations should include complaints raised by staff on the ongoing governance issues at the university, and also against the vice-chancellor Professor Pal Ahluwalia.
