Jamia Teachers' Body passes resolution opposing new leave rules
Jamia Millia Islamia Teachers' Body has passed a resolution opposing the University's new leave rules and show cause notices that were issued to some Hindi department faculty members for refusing to translate the annual report, among other things.
The resolution was passed by Jamia Teachers' Association (JTA) at a meeting of its general body on August 3, putting forth a series of demands, including setting up an inquiry committee to examine the cases of show cause notices. While speaking to a news agency, one of the University official said that "JTA does not have any legal right to call a general body meeting (GBM) as its tenure ended in May this year," as reported by TimesNow.
Meanwhile, JTA President said, "Our tenure will end in November this year. We are well within our right to hold the GBM and pass resolutions. The tenure of JTA is for two years and our term will end in November."
"At its general body meeting, the JTA called for the revocation of the new leave rules. The recently implemented leave rules are regressive and affect teachers' participation in various teaching, research, extension activities," the minutes of the read.
The teachers' body also demanded the withdrawal of special orders that were released during the COVID-19 pandemic. "A regular Academic Calendar with two months of summer breaks (16 May to 15 July) and winter break (24 December to 15 January) should be released," it said.
"Hostels and canteens on the campus should be opened with immediate effect as this will promote the teaching-learning process," it added.
