The university has taken decisive action following allegations against Vijay Mannari. The individual, who is accused of actions described as "detestable and abhorrent," has been suspended and banned from campus, with no further contact allowed with the university or its students. This response underscores the institution's commitment to its values and the safety of its community.
While the investigation is still in progress, there are currently no known allegations involving university employees or students. The university remains fully cooperative with law enforcement as it continues to monitor developments closely.
The safety and well-being of students and faculty remain a priority for the university. Support services are available through various departments.
