New Delhi, Apr 24 (PTI) A DU professors collective today opposed a UGC workshop scheduled for April 27 on its scheme to grant autonomy to select colleges, claiming the workshop has been called in "gross violation" of the Delhi University Act.
"The workshop on the autonomous college scheme in the UGC on April 27 at 10 am, for which more than two dozen college principals of DU have got direct invitation from the UGC is gross violation of the autonomy conferred by a century-old DU Act," Academy for Action and Development member Rajesh Jha said in a statement.
He said "imposing autonomous college scheme is a design to pave the way for privatisation and contractualisation."
