 This has been all over Facebook today (and probably Twitter, though I don't tweet).  It is deeply regrettable.  In the Scroll.in report that you cite, Matthew, Romila's own comment is characteristically understated and non-inflammatory:
“It is a very unfortunate thing,” Thapar told Anandabazar. “We are going through a strange time.
Emeritus is not a mere designation. It is an honour related to the university’s goodwill.”
Thank you for sharing.Best,Dominik
