Dear colleagues,

As you know,  the meeting of the Academic Council  scheduled for 12.12.2018 did not include item on the adoption of the UGC Regulations 2018. The DUTA wrote to the Vice Chancellor and demanded that the Draft Ordinances on the UGC Regulations 2018 prepared by the Subcommittee be included in the agenda. Soon after, the meeting was postponed. The DUTA reminded the VC again to announce the meeting and to include the matter on the agenda. A meeting of the AC has now been announced for 2.1.2019 at 11 am.

We have apprehensions that the agenda may still not include the Draft Ordinances by the Sub Committee. In the meeting of the DUTA Executive held on 24.12.2018, the following was decided:

1) The Elected AC members will argue and demand that the Subcommittee report be tabled in the AC meeting.
2) The House will not be allowed to conduct business if the matter on the UGC Regulations 2018 is not included in the agenda.
3) Strike on 2 January 2019, teachers shall participate in  DUTA Dharna starting from 10 am at the VC Office (Gate No 1).

Staff Associations are requested to mobilise for a complete shut down. We appeal to teachers to participate in large numbers in the DUTA Protest at the VC Office. Please find the poster enclosed. Please share and circulate it widely.

Regards
