DUTA Letter to the VC regarding the agenda of the forthcoming meeting of the Executive Council scheduled for 1 July 2019 To Professor Yogesh Tyagi Vice Chancellor University of Delhi Delhi 110007 27.06.2019 Sub: Regarding the agenda of the forthcoming meeting of the Executive Council scheduled for 1 July 2019 Dear Professor Tyagi, The governance of Delhi University today stands compromised by delays in decision making as meetings of statutory bodies are either not held or they remain inconclusive. The manner in which the Academic Council meeting of 22 June 2019 was abruptly brought to an end and agenda was deemed passed by voice-vote without appropriate item-wise discussion is extremely unfortunate and unacceptable. Important issues raised by elected members during the zero hour were conveniently deflected by you. The reported manhandling of many elected teacher representatives is also condemnable. The DUTA expresses its dismay and anguish at the manner in which

Regarding High Court Judgement of 09.01.2019 Prohibiting Replacement of one ad hoc or temporary employee with another To Professor Yogesh K. Tyagi Vice Chancellor University of Delhi Delhi - 110007 21.06.2019 Sub: Regarding High Court Judgement of 09.01.2019 Prohibiting Replacement of one ad hoc or temporary employee with another Dear Professor Tyagi, As you are aware, in the Raj Kumar versus University of Delhi & ANR [W.P.(C) 6421/2017 & CM APPL. 26584/2017], the High Court in a landmark decision on 09.01.2019 ordered that an ad hoc employee "can be replaced by regular employee not by an ad hoc employee." The High Court cited the Supreme Court judgement in case of State of Haryana vs. Piara Singh (1992) 4 SSC 118:  "...an adhoc or temporary employee should not be replaced by another adhoc or temporary employee; he must be replaced only by a regularly selected employee. This is necessary to avoid arbitrary action on the part of the appoint

The much-awaited Bill is expected to restore the Constitutionally mandated reservations in teachers’ appointments across all central universities and institutes by counting the institution as a unit for reservations. It is the logical culmination of an Ordinance that had been issued by the President of India on 7th March 2019, following a sustained democratic movement involving teachers' associations across universities,  researchers, Dali
