JNUTA opposes varsity's decision to set up committee to scrutinise long leave applications
The Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers' Association (JNUTA) has opposed the university's decision to form a committee to scrutinise all long leave applications. The association claimed that it will only add another impediment to the efficient processing of leave applications. The JNUTA also demanded that an emergency executive council meeting be convened to consider the pending leave applications of the eight teachers.
They also pointed out that the executive council of the varsity, in its 300th meeting on May 5, did not deliberate on the pending leave application of eight teachers. While asserting that all of these applications are time-sensitive, the association said that the absence of any decision regarding them is inexplicable as they meet all the conditions for the grant of long leave. As per the JNU ordinances and the practice, both Extraordinary Leave and Sabbatical Leave applications are decided upon by the executive council.
"Instead, without any agenda justifying this proposal, the EC has simply noted against each individual case that it has decided to set up a Leave Committee to be constituted by the Vice-Chancellor, which will scrutinise all long leave applications (sabbatical, study leave, EOL etc) and submit its recommendations to the VC," the JNUTA noted.
"It is the VC who will then decide whether to grant leave in each case or to refer the matter to the EC," it added.
Meanwhile, JNU CUET UG 2022 application deadline has been extended from May 6 to May 22. JNU CUET UG registration process commenced on April 6. Eligible and interested candidates can visit the official website of CUET- cuet.samarth.ac.in to fill in the application form.
