NANYANG Technological University (NTU) has turned down an appeal by journalism professor Cherian George against its decision not to grant him tenure.
This means that he is likely to leave the school within a year.
In response to the university's decision, four of its most senior faculty members, including two ex-deans, Professor Ang Peng Hwa and Emeritus Professor Eddie Kuo, sent a letter in support of Dr George to NTU president Bertil Andersson yesterday.
In the letter, the professors said the controversy over the university's decision to deny him tenure is causing "serious damage to our academic reputation and professional integrity" and NTU's ability to attract top communication scholars.
