Jawaharlal Nehru University students protested against University Grant Commission's rule of 27 percent OBC reservation for assistant professors in the university only.
What do the students want?
The fact that the reservation is applicable only to assistant professors was not acceptable by the university students
The students want the reservation to be extended to those at the post of professors and associate professors as well
The student body that is asking for the same at JNU is led by President Kanhaiya Kumar
A memorandum regarding the expected was submitted to UGC officials by the students
UGC on reservation for teachers:
UGC wrote a letter to the Registrar of Universities that there has been no change in the reservation of policies for faculty positions in central universities
According to UGC, positions in teaching have been given 15 per cent reservation for SC category, 7.5 per cent reservation for ST on three levels: assistant professor, associate professor and professors
The 27 per cent reservation for OBC is available only for assistant professors
Kanhaiya Kumar on reservation for the faculty:
"We students cannot tolerate this game with education and social justice. All the teachers, clerks and students will be on the road to protest against this. And if the government does not listen to our demands, then they will be ones who'll eventually come on the road," said JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar
