Bangalore: Bangalore University has laid down certain conditions for the affiliated colleges to continue affiliation and recognition, according to a press release.

The managements of the colleges have been told to abide by the conditions laid down by the university. In case, any college violated these conditions, teachers, students or parents may inform the university so that action can be initiated against the erring colleges, the release has said.

Admissions should be made as per affiliation orders of the university. The reservation policy as prescribed by the Government should be followed.

Harassment

The release said that as per the Supreme Court order of August 13, 1997, indulgence in any act of violence or sexual harassment of women at college or work place by any person (including faculty) was a cognisable offence.
