JNUs Arbitrary Cut-Off Criterion for OBC Candidates Have Been Declared Illegal by the Delhi High Court! .
Yet, JNU Administration Has Repeatedly Breached Its Promise to Grant Admission To Around 300 Deserving OBC Students Criminally Denied Admission By JNUs Wrong Admission Policy! .
Tomorrow, various organizations have jointly called for a total university strike as well as a protest demonstration at Ad Block from 11 am onwards, against the JNU administrations continuing attempts to scuttle OBC reservations. Even after a clear verdict from the Delhi High Court (HC) indicting JNUs admission policy regarding OBC reservations (which has led to as many as 277 OBC students being wrongly denied admission this year alone), and even after JNU administrations explicit assurances to the court that it will create new seats to admit the eligible OBC students if JNUs admission policy is held to be wrong, the administration is refusing to give admission to all the victimized students. .
On Sep 13th, when a delegation of students met representatives of the JNU administration after the Delhi HC verdict, the cornered administration had claimed that in principle they agree that JNU should take in the victimized OBC students. Further, the administration had assured the student community that a Deans meeting would be called immediately (on Sep 17th) to ratify the admissions, and subsequently on Sep 18th and 19th, lists of students would be put up on the JNU website. It is now almost two months since these grand assurances and promises were made, and shamefully the admin-istration has yet to act on its own words! .
The student community is well aware that for quite some time now, the JNU administration has constantly been trying to hide behind the Deans Committee in order to stall the proper implementation of OBC reservations. The proper implemen-tation of OBC reservations, as well as implementation of Delhi HC verdict is a fait accompli something that the adminis-tration HAS to comply with, come what may. Then, why does the administration constantly attempt to pass the buck of decision-making on the Deans Committee? This is obviously an attempt to buy time and stall the implementation of OBC reservations by inventing convenient excuses. .
When repeatedly asked why all the victimized students are not being offered admission in JNU when the policy itself has been declared to be wrong, the administration has been trying to pass off the responsibility of this criminal inaction on the purported reluctance of Deans of various schools to do so. This argument too is completely spurious: .
A Dean on his own cannot take such important decisions on behalf of a School without consulting at the very least the Centres in the School. Every individual in a position of power is after all duty-bound to represent the collective opinions and views of the body that he or she represents. The issue of admission of the victimized OBC students has not been brought up at the school-level for debate and discussion, and therefore the question of all the Deans refusing to act on the HC verdict simply does not arise (It is another matter that this process is not at all necessary, since implementing the HC verdict is a fait accompli). Therefore, this invoking of the Deans opinion to deny admission to the victimized students is plainly yet another ruse of the VC and his team including the Director of Admissions (all of whom have known anti-reservation views) to scuttle OBC reservations. The implementation of the constitutional provisions of reservations or of High Court verdicts cannot be held ransom to the personal whims and fancies and ideological prejudices of individuals whether they are Deans, Chairpersons or Vice Chancellors. .
This latest strategy (of using the Deans opinion as an excuse) being employed by the administration to avoid acting on the HC verdict and scuttle social justice is yet another disgraceful instance in a long and shameful track record of false promises and undermining of a transparent, democratic decision-making process in JNU. .
.
To begin with, for the last three years from 2008 onwards, the JNU administration used the devious ploy of the faulty and illegal cut-off criteria to steal OBC seats and deny admission to OBC students. .
.
.
Then, when the student community and the JNUSU protested, they instituted a committee under the chairpersonship of a well-known anti-reservationist (Prof. Aditya Mukherjee) to look into the matter. Subsequently, even in the face of all logic and legal proof, the Aditya Mukherjee Committee was used by the administration to ratify its faulty and illegal admission process time and again. .
.
.
As a result of a long struggle by the democratic sections in the entire JNU community, the Academic Council finally rejected the Aditya Mukherjee Committees recommendations. Then, acting on spurious legal opinion served by the casteist YFE, the JNU administration shamefully overruled the AC decision and unilaterally issued an order in its name reverting back to the Aditya Mukherjee Committees recommendations without taking the sanction of the AC. .
.
.
And now, even after the Delhi HC has held JNUs admission process to be illegal, the administration is STILL trying to avoid the proper implementation of OBC reservations! .
.
.
How much more subterfuge can this administration resort to? Legally and morally, the JNU administration stands completely exposed and indicted of gross institutionalized casteism. Not just has the administration destroyed and under-mined the democratic decision-making process in this university, it has repeatedly shown that it has scant regard for constitutional provisions of social justice and the law of the land. .
AISA appeals to the student community to ensure the success of the University Strike tomorrow and partici-pate in large numbers in the protest demonstration (from 11 am at the Ad Block). A fitting message has to be given by the student community that such administrative excesses and scuttling of social justice cannot be tolerated. .
