JNUs Academic Council Upholds 7th September 2010 Delhi High Court Verdict! .

Strengthen the Struggle for Ensuring Social Justice and Inclusion in JNU!! .

.

AISA congratulates the student community for the large and spirited participation in the protest demonstration today at SSSI while the Academic Council (AC) meeting was going on. For the past three years, the progressive and democratic sections of the JNU community has been struggling against the illegal and faulty cut-off criteria for OBC students, which has resulted in the large-scale non-fulfillment of OBC seats in JNU. .

And finally today, JNUs AC has forced the JNU administration to agree to our long-standing demand that JNUs illegal and faulty cut-off criteria for OBC seats will have to be changed in keeping with the 7th September 2010 verdict of the Delhi High Court (HC). The AC has held that 7th Sep HC verdict will have to be implemented in JNUs admission process, and appropriate changes will have to be instituted. This is clear vindication of our persistent struggle the past few years. Our struggle has taken on various forms: protest marches, demonstrations, hunger strikes, public opinion building amongst faculty members and the larger JNU community, extensive RTI and a long-drawn legal battle. It is the JNU administrations stubborn and arrogant refusal to see logic and reason and to accept facts, and its single-minded insistence on scuttling the proper implementation of OBC reservations that forced the JNU community to engage in this long struggle. And the ACs decision to uphold and implement the Delhi HC verdict is a significant milestone in ensuring social justice in JNU. .

The AC meeting is still going on, and several other issues need to be addressed by the AC the questions of reservation in faculty posts, display of marks of students seeking admission in JNU, weightage for interviews, and expansion of recognision for madarsa certificates in JNU. Our struggle to clinch these issues too towards making JNUs admission process socially inclusive, transparent and democratic will continue. .
