Speak out India: Four year degree row
- 5 years ago
A group of Delhi University teachers in favour of the four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP) on Tuesday went on a day-long hunger strike to protest against the University Grants Commission (UGC) order for its roll back.
The teachers, under the aegis of Academics for Action and Development (AAD), alleged that the UGC's directive to DU was an "assault" on its autonomy.
"It is an attack on DU's academic freedom and autonomy by the UGC on the behest of Ministry of HRD and this hunger strike is to resist the attack on academic freedom of higher education institutions," S.K. Mishra, AAD's press secretary and professor at DU, said.
