The updated document of the strategic plan will be tabled in the next AC meeting, an official statement said.

The AC members submitted a dissent note highlighting several issues in the Strategic Plan for the university which included allegations such as plagiarism of content in the document.

"This document is heavily plagiarised from different sources, which includes Ohio State University Advancement Strategic Plan, University of Sheffield Vision and Strategic Plan, Strategic Plan 2016-21 of Friends College Kaimosi, Kenya, among other sources," a teacher alleged.

The teachers further raised several apprehensions regarding the vision document of the university saying it paves the way for a potential fee increase, commercialisation and privatisation of education in a public funded institute.

The DU's Academic Council on November 30 gave its nod to several key proposals including a implementation of a dual degree programme, which allow students to pursue two academic degrees simultaneously through regular and open learning modes.
