NEW DELHI: The JNU instructional council’s resolution to introduce obligatory biometric attendance for lecturers has divided the group on the campus.
While many attending the instructional council (AC) meeting claimed that the verdict was taken via the vice-chancellor in a “casual” approach, many others are supporting it as a move that may carry “transparency”.
Only just lately Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) witnessed months of protests via scholars against a choice to introduce obligatory attendance for them. Many lecturers had supported the protest, claiming JNU scholars did not want surveillance to check correctly.
Confirming the verdict, JNU rector-1 Chintamani Mahapatra said, “The new machine will be implemented as quickly because the mins of the AC meeting are out.” The similar machine is already adopted for the non-teaching team of workers.
The AC meeting also made it clear that the students must sign an endeavor whilst registering for a route that they would abide via the attendance rules.
Sona Jharia Minhz, president of JNU Teachers’ Association (JNUTA), known as the meeting a continuation of the management’s “autocratic mode of functioning”. The resolution was taken like a “funny story”, she said.
The VC gave his personal example of ways “magnanimously he also marks his attendance. He said recently the machine is for the team of workers and they will introduce it for the students”, Minhz added.
Amita Singh of Centre for Study of Law and Governance, then again, said the verdict would carry “greater duty” on part of the academics as a lot of them “do not attend their offices and are busy with different paintings”.
On on-line front checks, Minhz said the committee prescribing the move must have also discussed the price the college would incur if the process is outsourced. “We are also hostile to this resolution as a result of its affect on social justice. Many aspirants won’t be capable of participate in such an examination.”
The JNUTA contributors came to the meeting with a black armband, opposing absence of any illustration from School of Arts and Aesthetics (SAA). Kavita Singh, its dean, advised TOI that she had nominated an appearing dean on being informed that she won’t be capable of attend the meeting because of a pending inquiry. “But they chose to habits the meeting without any consultant from our faculty.”
