JNU teachers’ association to raise issues with President Pranab Mukherjee

The decision was taken at a General Body Meeting (GBM) of the JNUTA on Friday.

The EC has passed items giving 100 per cent weightage to interview for admissions to MPhil and PhD, as well as giving the V-C power to intervene in appointing experts for the selection committee that appoints professors.

The GBM has also demanded that the suspension of nine students for allegedly “disrupting” an Academic Council (AC) “must be withdrawn immediately and they be given registration in this semester itself, together with a complete restoration of hostel facilities and fellowships”.

Teachers also “unequivocally condemned and rejected” the letter issued to Professor Nivedita Menon for addressing students at the administrative block.
