Meanwhile, Delhi University teachers alleged that during Dinesh Singh tenure Public Interest Litigations against the varsity have increased as the VC continues to rule the university in an autocratic manner.
“There is no room for dialogue or debate in the university. Teachers and students are compelled to go to court for resolving appointment or admission matters. Even to discuss routine matters of university, the vice chancellor is not available. He has not even met department heads or faculty members for long time,” said Abha Dev Habib, DU executive council member.
This year ‘White Paper’ was released by Delhi University Teachers’ Association (DUTA) in which it alleged financial and administrative irregularities in functioning of varsity like diversion of OBC funds for purchase of laptops or flagging off ‘Gyanodaya Express’.
Taking cognisance of same, MHRD has asked Visitor of university Pranab Mukherjee to look into whether the vice chancellor took the President’s approval for the amended ordinance that enabled Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP).
“The Vice Chancellor is playing dirty politics to save his chair. During his tenure, he was least interested in university matters like teachers promotions being stopped for years or appointment of permanent teachers and such. At least 40-45 percent seats for post of teachers are lying vacant. VC has culturally destroyed the university by making its functioning undemocratic and implementing a vague code of conduct,” said Abha Dev Habib.
She further added rather than conducting open house sessions to resolve matters, VC has instead barricaded the whole place. “University is a public place and such behaviour is unacceptable. VC should be removed as he has damaged functioning of the university,” said another teacher.
