The Council of the University of the South Pacific at its Special Meeting held today, Friday 5 February 2021 decided as follows:
The Council was not consulted over Professor Pal Ahluwalia’s deportation, that it has not made a decision to dismiss him and expressed disappointment that it was not advised, as Professor Ahluwalia’s employer, of the decision to deport him.

The Sub-committee will bring recommendations on these matters to Council.
