From the article:
Universities in states hit hard by India’s catastrophic latest COVID-19 wave are reporting dozens of deaths of professors and staff, with deaths so high and such a pall of shock and loss hanging over some campuses that faculty members say it is hard to see how university teaching can return to normal.  
 
Delhi University teachers said the university has so far lost 30 professors and teaching staff, and other officials including the university’s joint registrar Sudhir Sharma.
