Role of Student Faculty Committees: The SFCs were supposed to be an institution to democratize the Jcademic space in theuniversity being the link between students and teachers at the level of different centres. Very fewcentres conduct elections to the.

SFC today. Many cases of victimization or high handed attitude of the centre authorities can be effectively handled throughfunctioning SFCs. The new JNUSU should ensure that SFCelections are conducted in all the centres..

,. Faculty evaluationfrom students. which was an old practice in JNU, should be restarted in all centres.,. .
