Press Release, 28.11.2013

DUTA Press Release: November 28, 2013 The Delhi University Teachers’ Association (DUTA) condemns the Delhi Government’s anti-teacher move to freeze new appointments in the twelve Delhi Government-funded colleges of the University of Delhi. While the long-standing vacancies in these colleges have been approved and the University community is waiting eagerly for the appointments process to begin, the State Higher Education Department has lately come out with a notification banning all appointments for the time-being. The DUTA questions the basis of this notification and the moral right of a Government facing elections to take such a major policy decision. It is clear that the Congress Government in Delhi is acting in tandem with the Congress-led Central Government’s anti-people policies in Higher Education to bring about the quick destruction of public-funded universities like DU. The DUTA has been continuously underlining the fact that the abnormally large number of teaching

SANDEEP SHARMA, ACCUSED OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT, REMOVED FROM POST OF OSD, ARSD COLLEGE The DUTA congratulates the University community for the fact that the former OSD of ARSD College, Sandeep Sharma, who had been accused of sexual harassment by his Senior PA, has not been made the regular Principal of the College, and has been reverted back to his parent college. The DUTA finds it shameful that, despite an enquiry being ordered by the Delhi Commission for Women and an FIR and Chargesheet framed by the Delhi Police, the College Governing Body and University authorities had not only refused to remove Sandeep Sharma as OSD, pending enquiry, but had gone ahead and recommended his name for the regular post of Principal along with two others after a selection committee held on 11th November. It is only because of the sustained fight for justice by the complainant, Mrs Aruna Kumar, and the campaign by the DUTA and DUCKU for his removal pending enquiry, that the authorities were for

Letter to Staff Associations about tenure of ad hoc teachers, 25.11.2013

To, The President/Secretary, Staff Association 25.11.2013 Sub: Termination of some ad-hoc teachers’ appointment before 14.12.13 Dear Colleague, It has been brought to my notice that some Principals are not extending the appointment of ad hoc teachers till the last day of the semester viz 14.12.13 on the grounds that the relevant clause 3.(3) (a) of Ordinance XII is applicable to “temporary” teachers and not “ad-hoc” teachers. In this connection, I am attaching a clarification No. CB-I/96/ dated 13th March, 1996, by the Dy Registrar(Colleges) to the effect that temporary teachers appointed on ad-hoc basis are covered by the above clause. Please use this clarification to ensure that no ad-hoc teacher’s appointment is made to terminate before the end of the semester viz. 14.12.13. With regards, Nandita Narain

Press Release, 23.11.2013

On the intervention of the DUTA the illegal interviews for the post of Vice-Principal of Aurobindo College(M) were called off today. ( Further details here ) The DUTA expresses its appreciation of the University representatives on the Governing Body who responded positively to the DUTA's appeal. It condemns the Principal for posting police outside the gate with instructions to bar anyone from entering. It further condemns the police for manhandling peacefully protesting teachers and even detaining two of them. DUTA Office-bearers, Executive members and other activists converged at Aurobindo College this afternoon to protest against the removal of the regular Vice-Principal Dr. Meenakshi Gupta and to hold interviews in violation of the due process and democratic system of appointment of Vice Principal by rotation according to seniority. This was the second attempt to do so. Timely intervention by the DUTA Executive and members of the GB had prevented the Chairman and Prin

Press Release, 22.11.2013

The DUTA condemns the attempt by the five-member truncated Governing Body of Aurobindo College to hold illegal interviews for the post of Vice-Principal of Aurobindo College(M). The college has followed the practice of appointing Vice-Principal by rotation according to seniority for more than a decade. The five-member truncated Governing Body has been functioning since the expiry of the term of the full Governing Body on 2.11.13, and is expected to take up routine matters until the appointment of the next Governing Body. It would be highly improper for this body to take decisions that bring about major policy changes in the governance of the college. The DUTA had condemned the manner in which the regular Vice-Principal, Dr. Meenakshi Gupta, had been removed from office by the then Chairman Mr. Rohilla. Timely intervention by the DUTA Executive and members of the GB had prevented the Chairman and Principal from holding interviews for the post of Vice Principal. It is signifi

Letter to Staff Associations re Workshop on 200 Point Roster

To, The President/Secretary, Staff Association Subject: Workshop on 200 Point Roster and issues involving its application in the colleges. Dear Colleague, As you are aware that modalities decided by the University to implement 200 Point Roster violates the UGC guidelines, 2006, and reservation policy of GOI. This has consequently created enormous confusion as the rosters prepared by the colleges are at variance with UGC guidelines on the matter. DUTA, in this light, has decided to hold a workshop on 200 Point Roster to work out the correct roster as per UGC Guidelines and GOI policy, and to highlight the arbitrariness, the severe disparities arising between departments and great hardship to all categories of ad-hoc teachers who are getting displaced if the university "alphabetical" version is followed. You are requested to kindly intimate and request the liaison officer of your college to participate in the aforesaid workshop. It is important that the Pre

Press Release on Workshop on Ordinance XV-D on Sexual Harassment The recent tragedy of Pavitra Baradwaj followed by complaints of sexual harassment by Ms. Aruna Kumar of ARSD College against the OSD brought forth the fact that even after 15 years of Vishakha Judgement, which mandated institutions to address the problems of sexual harassment at the place of work, the institutions have failed to deliver justice in these cases. Delhi University, which adopted Ordinance XV-D a decade ago, has failed to ensure proper implementation of the Ordinance. The DUTA has decided to take a pro active stand on the matter and to work towards proper implementation of the Ordinance. As a first step, the DUTA organised a Workshop on the implementation of Ordinance XV(D) in Delhi University on Tuesday, 19th November, in which teachers from more than 16 colleges and several University departments participated. The Workshop began with a presentation by Dr. Janaki Abraham from the Department o
