Teachers have joined
elected member of the Academic Council, Mr. S.K. Sagar on the DUTA
Indefinite Relay Hunger Strike which has entered 21st day without a
break since it was started on 10 October 2012. Prof. Dinesh Singh has
proved to be the most insensitive person to ever hold the office of the
Vice-Chancellor of the University of Delhi. More well-known and learned
persons who have held the office in the past had never displayed such
insensitivity and were not afraid to engage with the grievances raised
by the teaching community. In fact, the University had an enlightened
tradition of the Vice-Chancellors coming out to meet protesters. The
present incumbent, Prof. Singh is weary of facing questions and entering
into any dialogue. This unprecedented decline in civilised and academic
interaction combined with completely arbitrary manner in which policy
decisions are being thrust has united teachers, students and karamcharis
to fight for restoring academic and democratic functioning in the
University, where every academic decision must be based on debate and
scrutiny. The joint action programme of 26th October 2012 where the
DUTA, DUCKU & DUSU came together in protest has shown to the
Vice-Chancellor what the University community thinks of him. The
university administration’s response is to resort to even more
despicable moves to create divisions. The undignified subterfuge of the
administration has brought together all sections of the University
community and strengthened their resolve to thwart arbitrary and
academically destructive measures by the Vice-Chancellor.
