The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) on Thursday suspended the membership of Al Falah University, Faridabad which comes into limelight in connection with the November 10 Delhi blast that killed 13 people and injured several others.
“It is intimated that, as per the Bye-laws of the Association of Indian Universities(AIU), all universities shall be treated as members as long as they remain in good standing,” said AIU Secretary General, Pankaj Mittal.
“However, it has come to notice that Al Falah University, Faridabad, Haryana, does not appear to be in good standing. Accordingly, the membership of AIU was accorded to Al Falah University, Faridabad, Haryana, stands suspended with immediate effect,” she added.
The top official informed that Al Falah University is not authorised to use the name or logo of AIU in any of its activities, and the AIU logo must be removed from the university’s official website.
This follows additional scrutiny from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), which issued a showcause notice over misleading claims regarding expired accreditation for two of its colleges.
