The council termed the new order which puts 40 per cent cap on the promotion of professor to senior grade, and restricts the number of domestic and international conferences a professor can attend annually, as ‘infringement on academic freedom of the institution.’
The faculty council has also decided to take up this issue with other IIMs before deciding on future course of action.
