Classes from today, VC gets striking UoH students nod
The acting vice-chancellor of the University of Hyderabad said on Sunday an umbrella grouping of 14 students’ outfits protesting over the suicide of dalit student Rohith Vemula had conditionally agreed to let the varsity function from Monday.
Hyderabad: The acting vice-chancellor of the University of Hyderabad said on Sunday an umbrella grouping of 14 students’ outfits protesting over the suicide of dalit student Rohith Vemula had conditionally agreed to let the varsity function from Monday.
“I met with students, representatives and JAC (joint action committee) members; they have some demands that they will give me in writing... But the students have agreed for regular functioning of the university from tomorrow (Monday),” interim VC M Periasamy said.
“This is a conditional agreement by the students on the ground that the university, HRD ministry and the government must take action against some people,” he said.
The JAC for social justice had earlier demanded an immediate resignation of previous interim Vice Chancellor Vipin Srivastvata and the removal of P Appa Rao from the post of Vice Chancellor, saying they were responsible for Rohith’s suicide.
The JAC, an umbrella grouping of 14 students’ groups, claimed that the faculty members and students responded to its appeal to boycott the classes and joined the protest.
Tension prevailed at life sciences block on Friday when a group of students and some faculty members, who wanted classes to resume, had heated argument with JAC leaders.
