Hindu College Staff Association Protests Over Alleged Administrative Irregularities
The Hindu College Staff Association (HCSA) has been protesting for over two weeks, demanding the removal of the college principal and an independent inquiry into alleged irregularities. They accuse the administration of violating Delhi University rules in admissions, especially regarding Sports and Extra-Curricular Activities quotas, bypassing the elected Staff Council, delaying faculty promotions, and lacking transparency in financial and administrative matters. The association also raised concerns about caste and gender insensitivity on campus and called for accountability and adherence to university regulations.
