DU's EC passes resolution on teacher-student ratio
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Delhi University's Executive Council (EC) on Friday gave its nod to a controversial notification on the teacher-student ratio for lectures and tutorials, despite opposition from some of its members.
Vice Chancellor (VC) Yogesh Singh used his emergency powers in the matter, according to an EC member.
In a notification issued last month, the university had capped the class size for lectures and tutorials at 60 and 30 respectively.
The resolution was passed in Friday's meeting despite opposition from some of the members. The VC used his emergency powers to pass the resolution, the EC member cited above said.
Three members of the EC disapproved of the use of emergency powers by Singh.
"The use of Emergency Powers on a policy matter is a subversion of Statutory Bodies. It is a misuse of the powers given by Statute 11 (G) which is an enabling clause to deal with unforeseen circumstances.
"Even as the meetings of the Academic Council and the Executive Council were already scheduled, DU Notification of 16.05.2023 and 1.5.2023 regarding 8 am to 8 pm show a total disregard for democratic statutory processes," the members said in a dissent note.
