Dear Madam/Sir,

The DUTA appreciates the institutional help provided by your institution to teachers, especially to ad-hoc teachers.

We write to urge you to renew services of ad-hoc teachers in view of the 5Th December Record of Discussion Clause 2: “it is expected that all ad-hoc teachers worked or working in the current academic year shall be continued till recruitment of permanent faculty”. Accordingly, we request that extension letters be issued to all ad-hoc teachers in your college. This will also ensure smooth functioning of the college in terms of teaching-learning processes of the ongoing semester and the forthcoming 4th and 6th semesters, submission of internal assessment, invigilation duties etc. Further, measures taken by the University in response to the pandemic like staggered academic sessions, should not adversely impact employees and their service conditions and livelihood.

We further appeal you to complete the process of hiring of guest and ad-hoc faculty for the additional workload requirements and against any fresh vacancies arising from leave/retirement. It is important that colleges do not postpone hiring of guest faculty. A large number of teachers are waiting to find employment back.

We hope that you will continue to follow safety protocols and with the third peak in COVID cases in Delhi, will also avoid any physical assembly of staff.

 

With regards,
