Further, the university has advised all faculty members to not indulge themselves in any protest/march/dharna/pradarshan and so on and “to remain present in their respective departments/centres to avoid disturbances in peaceful academic atmosphere and smooth functioning of the University,” as stated in a notice issued by the registrar yesterday, Monday, September 26.
This notice comes after an intimation by the Jamia Teachers’ Association (JTA) that they would carry out a peaceful protest march on September 27, 2022 to the Vice-Chancellor’s office in connection with the issues raised by them in a meeting held with the VC on September 8, 2022.
The notice issued by the registrar stated that most of the issues, covered under the university rules, had already been covered in the aforementioned meeting and the remaining issues are under “active consideration”.
“The JTA in order to mount pressure has come forward with the same issues and planned a march of the teachers which are detrimental to the smooth functioning of the university,” the notice stated.
