It is a nuclear fission like situation in Delhi University. Though Cobalt-60 is not capable for nuclear fission (fusion bomb can be made out of it theoretically) but the recent episode of Cobalt-60 and the unilateral imposition of semester system in some subjects by Vice Chancellor have created fission like reaction.

Fumed over Sunday’s episode of physical assault on teachers at South Campus a large number of teachers in the university have stopped evaluation work in protest of the incident. Teachers have not participated in the evaluation work at atleast four centres today. These include centres at Kirori Mal College, Miranda House, Hansraj College and Khalsa College, said an official of Delhi University. According to him three to four hundred teachers have been associated with all these centres.

However, Delhi University Teachers’ Association (DUTA) office-bearers say that this is a kind of temporary suspension of the evaluation work. We have appealed them to join evaluation work as students must not suffer in the whole episode.

According to him Vice Chancellor has still not come to talk with us though he had promised to do so. “We received a message from V C’s office on Sunday at about 12.30 pm that V C was coming to talk with us but nothing has happened till now”, he said.

VC’s letter for talk
Meanwhile the V C Deepak Pental has sent a letter to agitating teachers to talk on the issue on Tuesday but putting a pre-condition that the discussion can take place only if agitation is stopped. Teachers have yet to take decision on the issue.
