No salary for DU teachers on strike: V-C
Coming down heavily on the striking teachers, the Delhi University vice-chancellor has issued a circular saying that salary of those teachers will be deducted who abstain from academics due to strike, dharna and demonstration.
The VC has written, “It has been observed that the Delhi University Teachers’ Association and Staff Association of the college call strike, dharna, demonstration etc. from time to time which adversely affect the teaching and working of the university. In the recent past, strike, dharna etc. have been called by Duta for 16 days from August 17 to till date”.
“In order to protect the interest of large number of the students enrolled in the colleges, the V-C in exercise of his powers conferred under statute 11-G of the statutes of the university has decided that the teachers who abstain themselves from duty due to strike, dharna, demonstration etc. henceforth should not be paid salary and allowances for such period”.
The teachers, however, seem unfazed.
“We do not recognise him as V-C, as he does not have any authority letter from the Visitor. Only the executive council has the right to take decision about such matters. We are holding a demonstration on Friday with the students,” Duta president, Aditya Narayan Misra said.
