DU Committee Finds St Stephen's College Breached Faculty Recruitment Norms
A Delhi University (DU) committee found that St Stephen's College breached DU's 2024 recruitment norms by shortlisting more candidates for assistant professor interviews than permitted, potentially allowing ineligible applicants. The five-member panel, led by Prof. Inder Mohan Kapahy, recommended the college adhere to DU's rules to ensure uniformity. St Stephen's, a minority institution, argued its autonomy in selection. The college did not fully cooperate with information requests during the investigation, and DU had advised it to pause appointments pending review.
