9.3.2021

Dear colleagues,

The DUTA held  its Executive meeting on 9.3.2021 to discuss crisis faced by teaching and non-teaching staff in the twelve DU Colleges that are 100% funded colleges for the last 14 months. 

In many units employees have not received salaries for over 6 months now. Employees have also not received other dues. The issue was also discussed in the light of the recent merger of College of Art with AUD. The College of Art was de-affiliated from DU and merged without consulting stakeholders and without due processes. The DUTA Office Bearers will hold a meeting with teachers of CoA in this regard.

The DUTA Executive in its meeting held today passed the following resolution unanimously. Staff Associations are requested to mobilize for the action programmes and send feedback to strengthen the movement to save the 12 DU Colleges and its employees. 

1) DU Shut Down starting from 11 March 2021. 

2) Immediate Representations to the Chief Minister, LG, VC and  College Principals and Chairpersons of the 12 DU Colleges. 

3) Meetings with the DUCKU and DUSU and other students’ organisations by 13 March

4) Monday, 15 March, Adhikar Rally from the VC Office (Gate No 1) to CM Residence. Teachers to Assemble at Gate No 1 at 11 am.

5) Thursday, 18 March, Save DU Colleges from the VC Office (Gate No 1) to the LG’s Office. Teachers to Assemble at Gate No 1 at 11 am 

In solidarity
