Delhi: Indefinite sit-in protest begins at Ambedkar university over PG student’s suspension
The administration had suspended the student as per the order issued by the Proctorial Board, citing “indiscipline” and use of “derogative and disrespectful language against the head of the institution”
The protest comes days after AUD faculty received an email from the Dean of Academic Affairs last week, urging them to report classroom disruptions caused by students The suspension of a final-year postgraduate student at Dr B R Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) has triggered an indefinite sit-in protest on the campus beginning Tuesday.
On March 21, the student, an All India Students’ Association (AISA) activist, was suspended for six months for allegedly criticising the Vice-Chancellor’s Republic Day speech using the official university email system. The student was also barred from entering the campus during this period.
The protest comes days after AUD faculty received an email from the Dean of Academic Affairs last week, urging them to report classroom disruptions caused by students or student collectives.
“It has come to our attention that certain disruptions caused by students or student collectives have been affecting classroom instruction,” the Dean wrote. “With immediate effect, faculty members are required to implement the following measure: In cases where such incidents occur, it is imperative that faculty members report that event promptly.”
