A day after Janata Party Chief Subramanian Swamy said Harvard University should have approached him first before deciding on removing his courses, the American institution said it is a norm for the faculty to annually "amend" and vote upon the course list for its summer school sessions.
Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences had voted earlier this week to remove two economics courses that Swamy taught at the university's annual Summer School programme citing a controversial op-ed on Islamic terrorism in India that he had written for an Indian publication.
Faculty members felt Swamy's views in the piece were "reprehensible" and amounted to "incitement of violence".
The courses were dropped from next year's session after the faculty voted with an "overwhelming majority".
Reacting to the news, Swamy said in New Delhi that he had assumed Harvard would have sent its petition to him asking for his comments before taking any decision.
