In the past week, there have been two deaths in JNU due to the lack of adequate health facilities and infrastructure. Even after this tragedy hit JNU, not a single member of the JNU administration bothered to express any concern. No one from the VCs team attended the condolence meeting organized after Aishwarys death. Instead of taking immediate steps to rectify the reasons for the tragedy, the VC has spent his time telling the media that he is waiting for information from official sources! This level of insensitivity is shocking and shameful, to say the least. At the protest demonstration today, our VC, who for once bothered to talk directly to the students, once again shocked the student community by suggesting the obvious that asthmatic students should carry their inhalers with them! .

the concentration of students with strong leftist bias within the campus
made the situation on the campus already tense JNU VC in a speech in October 2006 .
Eminent economist and VC of JNU Prof. B B Bhattacharya today said politics should be kept away from institutions of higher learning
De-politicisation of universities was needed for growth especially in an environment which demanded immediate updating of courses in keeping with the times, felt Prof Bhattacharya who has heralded a series of changes in the University since he took over as VC in June last year. .
University is a place for students to study not a place for politicians to fight their political battles said Prof Bhattacharya, adding that the University is gearing up for students union elections which were round the corner. Senior political leaders like Prakash Karat and Sitaram Yechury were now addressing students in the JNU hostels and .
the concentration of students with strong leftist bias within the campus had also made the situation on the campus already tense. It is not true that all our students are staunchly leftist but no doubt there is a group of students who have their political biases and since this group is also vocal the impression that goes out through the media is that JNU students are Leftist. The media should focus on the hundreds of students and teachers who are quietly and laboriously working towards achieving excellence
