JU teachers assert right to return home Teachers and officials were gheraoed by the engineering faculty students’ union over alleged lapses in the online Jadavpur University Management System
Teachers at Jadavpur University have said that “just as students have the right to agitate for their demands, teachers too have the right to return home after meetings”. Detaining teachers and officials for hours “in this pandemic situation”, they have warned, “can have severe, if not fatal, consequences”.
The Jadavpur University Teachers’ Association (Juta) has flagged the points in a letter to vice-chancellor Suranjan Das, days after teachers and officials were gheraoed by the students’ union of the engineering faculty over alleged lapses in the online Jadavpur University Management System (JUMS). That siege continued from around 4pm till midnight.
