(1) No University employee shall, except with the previous sanction of the University, have recourse to any court or to the press for vindication of any official act which has been the subject matter of adverse criticism or on attack of a defamatory character:
Provided that if no such sanction is received by the University employee within a period of three months from the date of receipt of his request by the University, he shall be free to assume that the permission as sought for has been granted to him.
(2) Nothing in this regulation shall be deemed to prohibit a University employee from vindicating his private character or any act done by him in his private capacity and where any action for vindicating his private character or any act done by him in private capacity is taken, the University employee shall submit a report to the prescribed authority regarding such action.
