SSUS Syndicate votes to conditionally lift suspensions of 12 SFI students
The university’s governing body approved a conditional withdrawal of suspensions for most students involved in an SFI protest, pending an unconditional apology.

The Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit Syndicate met on Monday, November 2, 2026 and agreed to conditionally withdraw the suspension of 12 of the 16 students detained after a Students Federation of India (SFI) protest, The Hindu reported.
What conditional relief was granted?
The Syndicate said the 12 students can have their suspensions lifted only after they submit an unconditional apology promising not to breach disciplinary norms again.
Which students remain suspended and why?
Four students, including Archana P.S., chairperson of the university students’ union, will stay suspended for another two months because officials say they were actively involved in SFI’s organisational activities during the disciplinary period, according to The Hindu.
How have SFI leaders and supporters reacted?
SFI state secretary P.S. Sanjeev announced that the students will not apologise and will continue an indefinite protest, while a CPI(M)-led march demanding exam permission for the suspended students was halted by police at the campus gate, The Hindu noted.
