JNUTA Stages 'Month of Protests' Amid Faculty Promotion Delays

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers' Association (JNUTA) has initiated a series of peaceful protests slated for May, intending to address ongoing issues such as faculty promotions, confirmations, and probation extensions. These procedural delays have reportedly demoralized faculty members, prompting the association to take action.

Termed the 'Month of Protests,' the mobilization aims to draw attention to the stalled Career Advancement Scheme promotions and confirmations. Concerns over extended probation periods, viewed as deviations from standard norms, also form a core part of the campaign.

JNUTA plans to begin their demonstrations on May 8, starting with rallies at the School of Language, Literature and Cultural Studies and extending to other departments including Social Sciences, International Studies, and Life Sciences. The association hopes for constructive dialogue with the administration to foster resolution.
