‘Shrinking Academic Freedom, Crumbling Infra’: Why are AUD Faculty members protesting ?

AUDFA’s protest demonstration outside AUD’s administrative block, August 17.
In response to the AUDFA demand charter, the AUD administration shared a year-wise table of steadily increasing applications in UG and PG courses. AUDFA published a fact sheet that this is an inaccurate portrayal of an overall increase in application numbers. At the same time, it doesn't account for the increased seats owing to the introduction of new courses and expansion of existing courses between 2018-2023. Despite nearly doubling the admission capacity of the university, applications have staggered.
