The Federation of Central Universities Teachers’ Associations (FEDCUTA) condemns arbitrary suspension of faculty member at Central University of Kerala     The Federation of Central Universities Teachers’ Associations (FEDCUTA) notes with concern and condemns the arbitrary suspension of Dr. Gilbert Sebastian, a faculty member at the Central University of Kerala, by the university administration.  Dr. Sebastian, a teacher of International Relations and Politics, was suspended for a few remarks he made in an online class on April 19th where he discussed Fascism and Nazism and brought in the issue of proto-fascist organisations in the contemporary history and politics of India and the world. Probably, it is the first time ever in the country that disciplinary proceedings have been initiated against a teacher for the content of an online class. Now this usage of heuristic categories (like proto-fascist) is common in academic teaching and has been deployed by academics in their tea

DUTA slams UGC for pushing NEP in this hour of crisis instead of responding to the health crisis It is extremely shocking that the UGC has, on 20.5.2021, brought out a notification allowing HEIs to teach upto 40% of syllabus of each course (other than SWAYAM course) through online mode and the remaining 60% syllabus of the concerned courses to be taught in the offline mode. This unacademic and ill-timed recommendation will erode the autonomy of HIEs and teachers further. This move towards online education will ensure that a large number of students from underprivileged families or rural areas with limited internet access and computer devices will be denied access to quality education. The concept note turns students into customers and uses fancy clauses like "pick teachers and timings", "frame your courses", "design your degree", "student centric" and so on and so forth. Such dubious and meaningless clauses mask the ulterior reality of the m

DUTA Letter to VC reg. Teachers’ Welfare Fund: 15.5.2021 Prof. P C Joshi          Vice-Chancellor (Acting) University of Delhi Delhi – 110007 15.5.2021 Subject: Issues regarding Teachers’ Welfare Fund Dear Professor Joshi, As you know, the Teachers’ Welfare Fund (TWF) was established through the AC Resolution (No. 262) dated 22.2.1975. Subsequently, from time-to-time decisions were taken through EC Resolutions. The membership is open only to permanent faculty. As per the constitution of the TWF, all permanent faculty were to be covered unless stated by the teacher otherwise. Further, as per the EC Resolution 141(3) dated 22.2.1990, it was decided 5% of the examination remuneration would be deducted towards the TWF. We appreciate that under your leadership the TWF has been reactivated and as requested by the DUTA, financial assistance will be provided to families/legal heir in the case of death of an ad-hoc teacher due to COVID. This is, however, not enough. We request for immed
