The DUTA has called for a one day Strike on the day of the Academic Council, 24 August 2021 and a demonstration outside the venue of the Academic Council from 10.30 am onwards.
Through this action programme, the DUTA also demands that the 12 adhoc teachers of VNC should be immediately continued and Dr Hina Nandrajog be removed from Office. Any violation of 5 December 2019 Record of Discussion is not acceptable. To arrest confusion on this matter, the DUTA demands that the 5 Dec 2019 Record of Discussion be reported in the EC and notified again to all Heads of institutions.
The DUTA also demands that there should be no displacement of adhoc teachers in the University Departments because of the requirement of PhD as the minimum qualification w.e.f. 1 July 2021. The University should immediately intervene and seek relief from the UGC as many adhoc teachers are losing their jobs.
The DUTA also demands that the Vice Chancellor, as the custodian, should intervene on the matter of the 12 DU Colleges that are 100% funded by Delhi Government to ensure that this repeated crisis ends.
The additional grant of 28 crores promised by Sh Kejriwal to the Principals in the month of March, should be released.
To ensure relief, the University should take concrete steps including submitting proposal to the UGC for a complete takeover of the 12 DU colleges.
Further, the DUTA GBMs have opposed NEP tooth and nail for its ramifications for higher education. The SWAYAM Regulations 2021 and ABC Regulations 2021, which allow students to take upto 40% – 50% credits from either SWAYAM repository of courses or from other institutions listed under the ABC scheme will reduce the role of educational institutions and teachers and lead to dilution of degrees for students.
These recommendations will render workload unstable and lead to its reduction resulting in job cuts.
