Friends! 18/04/07 The student movement in our campus is faced with immense challenges in the coming one year. The present JNUSU council has the responsibility of ensuring that all the challenges facing the students are resolved successfully. The leadership of JNUSU to buiJd a sustained and united student movement would crucially affect the progressive democratic character of our campus in the coming days. From the very first day itself SFI-AISF representatives in the JNUSU have made all efforts to forge the broadest possible unity of students on these issues. Be it the issue of 27% OBC reservations and 54% Seat increase, struggle for more scholarships, formulation of 11 th plan proposals in a democratic and transparent manner or other important demands like recognizing Allemiyat-Fazeelat degrees for admissions to BA 1st year and ensuring transparency in admission process the SFI-AISF representatives have taken the lead in mobilizing students against the insensitive administration in various protest actions over this period. Not only have these efforts been successful in pressurizing the administration to concede to many of our important demands like implementatjon of 27%0BC reservation in one go, formation of a committee to strengthen the EOO, ratification of the rules and procedures of the GSCASH etc. but they have also helped In forging a broader unity of students on many issues which has strengthened our cause. The open meetings called by the JNUSU president on the issue of reservation were an initiative in this direction only. The JNUSU President also called for an All Party Convention against the Supreme Court judgement staying OBC reservation. It were the SFI AISF representatives in the council who took the initiative of calling an open meeting of students on the issue of depiction of women in cultural programmes in our hostel nights following complaints by a large number of girl students regarding a performance in a cultural night in a particular hostel. Shamefully nobody from the AISA or their representatives in the JNUSU part1cipated in that meeting barring a token presence by the JNUSU VP for a few minutes. .

It is this vision of the JNUSU, aimed at forging the broadest possible student unity, which the infantile ultras of the AISA do not have For them the JNUSU platform is yet another means for attacking the SFI-AISF and extracting their sectarian polit1cal gains. Since the last elections~ the JNUSU General Secretary has indulged in the worst forms of sectarian politics, while the JNUSU VP has been totaJiy inactive in all major issues. The JNUSU Gen Secy has not even allowed council meetings to take place or let the electJon of conveners and GSCASH representative happen till now. The inactivity and sectarian politics of the AISA within the JNUSU is exposed from the following: .

.

The JNUSU Gen. Secy., called separate demonstration on the Nithari issue, sabotaged the protest march on students' issues on 14th March. .

.

.

The AISA representatives in JNUSU did not even bother to call for a protest demo during the Academic Council meeting or report the proceedings of the meeting to the student community. .

.

.

The AISA was completely silent on the issue of ratification of the rules and procedures of GSCASH, constitution of a committee for strengthening Equal Opportunity Office or increasing the amount under Earn·As·You-Learn scheme. .

.

.

The AISA has been completely silent against the YFEs black flag demonstration against Arjun Singh or the manhandling of Swami Agnivesh and Udit Raj during a programme In JNU. .

.

.

Neither the AISA nor their JNUSU representatives have taken any position on the YFE's obnoxious attacks on the JNUSU president for his commitment to the cause of 27% OBC reservations and seat Increase. .

.

.

While the AISA has decided to conveniently neglect all these genuine issues and questions being raised by the SFI·AISF they are revoking the issue of Nandigram again and again to hide their utter inactivity and non-seriousness on students' issues. As far as the issue of Nandigram is concerned, the SFI-AISF would like to state the following: .

On Nandigram: 14 people have died in Nandigram due to the confrontation between the police and violent agitators. One person (out of 14) died because a bomb that he was trying to throw at the police burst in his hands. The police firing is highly unfortunate and deplorable because poor people have lost their lives. It is particularly disturbing because it has happened under the Left Front Government, which Is committed to the cause of the working people, particularly the rural poor. The Left Front Government in West Bengal must take immediate steps to ensure the restoration of peace and normalcy In Nandlgram. The Left Front Government must also ensure that such incidents of police firing do not occur in future. .

The police firing on 141h March is regrettable, but the culpability of the opposition parties in West Bengal, namely the Trinamool Congress! the BJP, the Congress, SUCI and naxalites cannot be overlooked. The issue of land acquisition had been settled when the Chief Minister of West Bengal announced on 3rd February 2007 that no land would be acquired in Nandigram. Several all-Party meetings were convened both at the district as well as the state level to discuss and resolve the issue. The opposition deliberately stayed away, because they wanted the situation to precipitate. .

Over 3500 Left sympathisersl all poor villagers, have been staying in makeshift relief camps over the past two and a half months since they were forcibly evicted from the villages. The area was declared out of bounds for the district administration and all communication links and roads were cut off. This was surely not a democratic form of protest. Moreover, the demand on the basis of which the protest .

Prospective students and their families visited the campus on Tuesday, July 18, to explore the opportunities available at Penn State. This free program offered attendees a wide range of information including the admission process, financial aid, and student life. A campus tour, led by admissions staff Lion Ambassadors, gave visitors a chance to see the campus and see the new Joe and Rosie Rul Student Community Center which opened in October 2016.

The services that we provide as addiction advisors help so many people that are in need of treatment. Given an addict’s already altered state of mind, it can be very difficult and confusing for them to understand how the admissions process works for rehabilitation.

Luckily for these individuals, we do all of the work for you so that you don’t have to. The convenience factor for that alone is completely worth making the call, let alone the fact that we have a large network of top-of-the-line treatment facilities all across the nation.

For example, if you’re in need of addiction treatment in Billerica, MA, we can find you the perfect drug and alcohol rehab within the Billerica surrounding areas.

Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, or TJ, is the nation’s top-ranked public high school. Fairfax County Public Schools’ (FCPS) recent changes to TJ’s admissions process specifically aim to reduce the number of Asian-American children—and only Asian-American children—who can attend TJ. The school district’s race-based admissions scheme garnered nationwide interest and strong opposition from the Coalition for TJ, a group of over 5,000 parents, students, alumni, staff, and community members who advocate for school diversity and excellence through race-blind, merit-based admissions. Represented by PLF in federal court, the Coalition is challenging FCPS’ race-based admissions scheme as a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.

In the context of the upcoming Academic Council (AC) meeting on March 19th 2012, student community of JNU is presently in the midst of a crucial struggle. The newly elected JNUSU, through council meeting, series of School GBMs and ongoing protest actions have highlighted a range of issues which are central to the socially-inclusive character of JNU. At the upcoming AC meeting, it is urgently required that several long-pending issues related to democratisation of JNU's admission process and its inclusive character are addressed. .

One of the most key issues is the reduction in the weightage of viva in JNU's entrance exam. For a long time now, the student community has been persistently raising the demand with all logic and facts. This issue had already been raised during the previous AC meeting held in October 2011.The JNU administration had then promised to consult the concerned decision-making bodies and come to a positive decision. However, this time around, the administration has not even bothered to add this issue on to the agenda of the AC! Clearly, the administration wants to dilly-dally on the issue, and this in NOT acceptable to the student community. How much longer can we allow the administration to underplay the self-evident biases in JNU's entrance exam? JNUSU has circulated a detailed explanatory and factual note to large number of AC members emphasising our demands. Below we are providing excerpts from this note related to Viva-voce marks: .

Why Viva-Voce Weightage must be reduced: Presently the viva-voce carries a weightage of 30% of the total; underlying this is the assumption that the viva measures a different set of analytical and communication skills which cant be estimated in a written examination. While this may well be true, this is important to reiterate that both exams measure students ability to do a successful M. Phil / PhD and thus due weightage (that is in the ratio 70:30) should be allotted to the performance in each exam. .

.

shows a strange distribution with marks clustered either between 0-5 or in the 25-30 range. In the normal course, it is expected that the majority of the students would get average marks between 10-20 with a few very good as well as few very bad performers. Clearly something is very wrong in the way students are being judged in their viva, where they are either "very good" or "very bad". .

The obvious explanation is that the interview board is using this bimodal marks distribution to select or reject candidates based on viva-voce alone. The marks obtained in written exam dont count given the huge disparity of marks in viva, thus completely subverting the 70:30 weightage principle. Is it not evident that the present marking pattern has come to treat the written exam as a mere qualifier where the selection completely depends on performance of viva. Of course there are few honorable examples for e.g. SCMM where the marks are clustered around the middle possibly because of averaging of marks. It is this real possibility of skewed marking in the viva which once prompted a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court of India, way back in 1980, to state the weightage of viva should not be more than 10-15%. A 5-Judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court (comprising legal luminaries like P.N. Bhagwati, Y.V. Chandrachud (CJI), V.R. Krishnaiyer, Syed Murtaza Fazal Ali, A.D. Koshal) on 13 Nov. 1980 (Ajay Hasia Etc. vs. Khalid Mujib Sehravardi & Ors) said, We are of the view that, under the existing circumstances, allocation of more than 15% of the total marks for the oral interview would be arbitrary and unreasonable and would be liable to be struck down as constitutionally invalid Clearly, JNUs admission policy on viva-voce is in violation of this verdict of NO LESS than a Constitution Bench. .

JNU is known for its equitable principles in students selection. However, the marks given to reserved category students SC/ST/OBC paint a different picture. The majority of SC/ST/OBC students get very poor marks clustered around 0-5 in viva. For example, in ORG out of 12 SC/ST students, one student has got 20, one has 4 marks, one has 3 marks, one has 2 marks and the remaining eight has 1 mark). In practical terms, it ensures that many dont reach the required minimum cut-off of say 30% or 36% of overall marks even if they have reasonable marks in written exam. At another level, even with a very good performance in written exam, which in the normal course would guarantee a general category seat, the student is pushed down to occupy a reserved seat, blocking other potential candidates in the category. .

Nobody is claiming that there should always be a strong correlation between viva and written exam marks for each individual student. However, when a whole set of students (reserved) get very poor viva marks in spite of good and average performance in written exams, there is a strong indication of bias. .

We therefore demand that JNU administration immediately gives due consideration to the distortion that has crept into the selection process and accept the legitimate of demand of the students to reduce the weightage of the viva-voce as per the directives of the Supreme Court to 10-15%. This crucial step will go a long way in ensuring a more level playing field for disadvantaged students and reduce space for subjective anomalies to affect the outcome for all the candidates. .

Down with AISA's Lumpenism!! Unite to maintain JNU's Democratic Ethos!! Dote: 04/08/07..:· .

SFI sfrvngly condemns the physical assault on Sumeet Kishore a YFE activist by Rajon Pandey a Joint Secretory of AISA JNU Unit. This inCident took place near the admission assistance booth at Ad Block yesterday. Both Rojon and Sumeet were standing at the bus stop to assist new students in their admission process. The incident started with an .

argument over assisting a new student when Sumeet was pushed by Rojon while trying to toke her to the YFE's admission assistance booth. There was a heated exchange of words and some pushing around between them .

which was pacified by the other students present at the bus stop. The SAA councilor Ameet Pormesworan along with some other students tried to take Rojon away from Sumeet to ensure that nothing untoward happens. However a Her 5-10 minutes when it seemed that things hod been resolved Rajon took a stone and hit Sumeet on his head without any kind of provocation. .

Rajan has been suspended from the university by the Proctor's Office and a Proctorial enquiry has been ordered into the incident. We believe that such violent acts ore completely antithetical to the democratic culture of JNU. It is all the more shameful because the whole incident took place in front of new students and their parents. JNU is known for Its progressive values and the entire exercise of admission assistance is also done in the some spirit where new students ore helped in their admission process. The new students who come from different places all across the country get their first exposure to the political culture of JNU in the admission assistance ' process. However the degeneration which has led to a situation where new students are pounced upon with.

( people fighting with each other and has culminated in this unfortunate incident has lowered the prestige of JNU in.

t In a most shameless manner the AISA has tried to defend Rojon's behaviour by making cock and bull stories .

about the incident. If Sumeet was indulging in any kind of caste abuse then a complaint should have beenc lodged against him and the entire student community would have ensured that justice was delivered like lost s' year's case of caste violence in Lohit and Chonrobagha hostel. Indulging In violence for settling political .

dlfferences has never been o culture of this campus. The student community In this university has aJways defeated the right wing and costelst elements politically and hlHing people with stones has never been a pari of left politics In thls campus. This exposes the Ideologically bankrupt polltlcs of AISA and their complete disrespect for the values thls university stands for. JNU is known for its culture of debate and discussions and this is what makes it a .

politically vibrant campus. However over the last few years AISA activists have been continuously intimidating and .

provoking students from rival political organizations. This trend has continued in the admission assistance proc~s this year as well. ~n the 1st phase of admissions another Secretariat member of AISA Ravi hod physically and .

In yesterday's pamphlet the AISA has also attacked the JNUSU President and Jt Secy for taking a position against this criminal act by Rajan. We strongly condemn this sectarian and unprincipled attack on the JNUSU Office 0( Bearers who hove:rightly token a strong position against a serious oct of violence. The SFI would Hke to worn the .

th AISA that the students of this campus would not allow them to take the democratic political culture of this we campus on ransom for indulging in such acts repeatedly in the nome of left politics. If the radicalism of AISA Ml means threatening and attacking fellow students then we would like to tell them that JNU is not the suitable place wt for them to carrv forward their oolitics.Ml by However the SFI would also like to warn the ABVP and other right wing organizations who have tried to attack the du entire student movement of this campus on the pretext of yesterday's incident. The student movement of JNU lun does not need any lessons from the goons of ABVP on what is the culture of this campus. We would like to make it pre clear that acts like yesterday's incident hove never been a port of the left student movement in this campus and the strict action should be taken against it to ensure that they are not repeated in the future. But this campus has not fr01 forgotten the criminol lumpenism of ABVP goons and other reactionary sections, which they have unleashed here. OC From the case of brutal caste o1rocity against a fellow student in Lohit and Chondrabagha hostels lost year to ac· repeated cases of sexual harassment and violence by the JPF goons in the Paschimabod area of the campus in II the last few years, there is a long history of violence by the ABVP. ABVP has the dubious distinction of indulging in De worst form of mob violence in our university which was unleashed during Ashok Singhal's visit. The students of this campus hove always fought against such lumpen and reactionary elements and defeated them politically. Wenot would advise the ABVP to desist from indulging in such attacks against the JNU student movement or else they will.
