DUTA holds silent protest

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Earlier in the day, the Delhi University Teachers’ Association organised a silent protest outside the institution against the serving of show-cause notices on the two senior History lecturers of the college.

Teachers of various departments sat outside the college with their faces covered with a black cloth as a mark of their “silent” protest against the “blatant assault” on the academic freedom and freedom of expression of the teachers.

The teachers were served show-cause notices for “abusing the teaching space”.

The DUTA also noted with “utter disappointment and regret” that the University, despite maintaining in an affidavit that the appointment of Officer on Special Duty was illegal, had ignored the order of National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions for replacing Mr. Thampu.
