New Delhi: The Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers’ Association (JNUTA) on Friday, September 22 raised concerns over the deteriorating condition of the university, including academic standards, rule violations, admission issues, and reduced diversity. It released a report, titled ‘JNU: The State of the University’ report, highlighting a series of critical issues affecting the university, spanning from governance concerns to academic irregularities.

In a statement, JNUTA said, “…the process of destruction of the university unleashed from 2016 has continued abated, even after the change of the Vice Chancellor in February 2022.”

“This destruction involves erosion of the institutional and academic ethos of the University and the undermining of its role as a promoter of social equity – the hallmarks of the University which were integral to establishing it as a premier higher education institution,” read the statement.
