Delhi University's four-year courses set for final approval [Published Mail Online UK - May 07 2013]

A senior DU officer says ad hoc recruitment is no ` "big deal. There have always been ad hoc teachers in the university. A committee has been set up by the UGC to look into the various levels of teachers appointments. I think we will get the report in a few days, and recruitment will start by June-end.DU officials says it is impossible to do away with the system of hiring ad hoc teachers. Permanent teachers go on sabbatical and maternity leave, creating short-term vacancies. Many VCs of other universities are products of DU. They go and take many teachers with them to set up departments, adds the officer.Teachers fear that the new degree course will lead to closure of small departments, particularly regional language departments, and layoffs could follow.The assumption of workload increase is after calculating total strength of teachers in a college, but what happens to an individual department's load, asks Naveen Gaur, who teaches Physics at Dyal Singh College (Morning)."
