Senior Prof. Sampath Amaratunge Brings International Honour to CINEC Campus with Recognition for Ethical Leadership

University Grants Commission (UGC) former Chairman and University of Sri Jayewardenepura former Vice Chancellor Professor Sampath Amaratunge has been invited to serve as an “Academic Guardian of Olympic Values” under the international Ethos Universitas framework and has subsequently received his official Certificate of Appointment. Professor Amaratunge, a distinguished Sri Lankan academic, presently serves as Deputy President and Deputy CEO of CINEC Campus, a leading non-State higher education institution in Sri Lanka.

The distinction recognises eminent academic leaders whose service to higher education reflects values associated with ethics, integrity, responsible leadership and good governance. Although inspired by the Olympic tradition, the recognition is not connected to sporting achievement. Instead, it seeks to promote the broader humanistic and ethical ideals of Olympism within universities and academic institutions across the world.
