DUTA Protests Memorandum to 34 DU Faculty Over Early Session Absence
The Delhi University Teachers' Association (DUTA) protested a memorandum issued to 34 Faculty of Technology members, which demanded explanations for their absence during the first 90 minutes of the 2026-27 academic session. The memorandum warned of disciplinary action for non-compliance or unsatisfactory responses. DUTA called the notice arbitrary, coercive, and stigmatic, arguing it presumed guilt before facts were established and undermined teachers' dignity. The protest occurred on Guru Purnima, highlighting concerns over academic morale and institutional trust.
