Normalcy only after VC is sacked: JNU teachers

JNUTA will seek a judicial inquiry into the January 5 violence on the campus as neither the “sham inquiry” of the VC-appointed committee nor Delhi Police’s investigation would bring to light the complete truth, the resolution claimed.
“No teaching for the winter semester can commence before the academic activities of the monsoon semester are completed in a manner consistent with the statutory provisions and the maintenance of academic standards,” GBM stated. The teachers will engage with students but will not “accept the diktats of an administration that cannot even perform its job of ensuring a conducive environment for regular academic activities”, it pointed out.
The teachers, who assembled in front of School of International Studies and raised slogans, alleged that as the administration didn’t not want a fair investigation, JNUTA demanded the sacking of the VC as a “necessary, though not sufficient, condition for teachers to feel secure. GBM... cautions MHRD that it will be held squarely responsible should the distinct possibility of any further untoward incidents becomes a reality because of the delay in relieving the VC”.
The resolution rejected the registrar’s January 13 advisory alleging that it had “admonished teachers and threatened them”. After the “chilling experience of January”, there’s no doubt the VC and the administration “do indeed pose a serious threat” to the teachers, it stated.
Demanding that the private security agency at JNU be held accountable for its failure on January 5 and be replaced, JNUTA sought “an urgent review of security arrangements, which must include the participation of teachers, students, staff and residents”. It also said the current security arrangements were causing inconveniences to every body.

NEW DELHI: In its general body meeting (GBM) on Friday, JNU Teachers’ Association (JNUTA) reiterated that to restore normalcy on the campus, the vice-chancellor should be sacked. It also decided not to cooperate with the Jawaharlal Nehru University administration on resuming classes, saying the authorities should first try to end the impasse with students.
