DU Official Warns Students Against Skipping Classes for CJP Protests
A Delhi University official has warned students that skipping classes to participate in protests organised by the Campus Justice Platform (CJP) could lead to disciplinary action. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated that unauthorised absence violates university attendance rules and may result in consequences such as loss of scholarships, hostel facilities, or examination eligibility.
The warning comes amid reports of student-led protests on campus. University officials emphasised that while students have the right to express their views, academic obligations remain paramount. Student groups have criticised the warning, alleging it curbs legitimate protest rights. The development highlights ongoing tensions between DU administration and student activists over disciplinary frameworks and freedom of expression.
