Correct. But when were the EC minutes uploaded by the NKC admin. Earlier due to SJA pressure where they famously clashed with and humbled the AG, the then Talukdar admin uploaded EC, AC,FC and GC minutes AND agenda notes. Everything. This was very quickly discontinued by the NKC admin and COVID gave a great excuse along with a servile SJA back then. So what prompted this change?

By the way, NKC and Co are still playing old tricks. EC minutes exist till Dec 2023. AC till somewhere in 2022. FC is stuck somewhere in 2019 and GC in 2018. And that's just the minutes and not the agenda notes.

Will the SJA do something meaningful about this or back off because the Prez has been targeted and the teach are playing mind tricks and scare tactics with Day Zero stuff?

I am reliably told that the VC and Registrar called upon faculty members, including the junior ones who were recently appointed/contracts extended to pledge loyalty and even asked to remain ready to voice/sign their support should EC members ask for it.

If all that is alleged by the complainant is "false" then what explains this panic reaction. Ofc there are faculty members who would volunteer "loyalty" and then do what they did to PIB.

Then again, why no faculty/staff support for the complainant? Not as gullible as the students?

That's because it's an anonymous email and there is no evidence of any student having sent it. In fact, one faculty was trying to force the LLM students to send a mass petition in favour of the EC, which they summarily rejected. The VC of course produced this anon email in the EC in a desperate attempt to show that students are with him.

Kindly also mention that a unspecified group of undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students have sent an anonymous email to all EC members complaining that SJA is acting on vested interests, sullied the image of NUJS and its VC and doesn't have the support of majority who have been silenced and bullied; and most importantly that this silenced and bullied majority support NKC and are convinced that the complainant has lodged trumped up charges against the VC to scuttle his extension.

In the interest of fairness, why not publish that email alongside the SJA petition to CJI/EC members and the "solidarity statements" from the "concerned students" of GNLU, NLU Lucknow and Jodhpur.

Great! And what good has that done?

Do you see NKC flinching? Have those construction tenders been revoked or scrutinized? What about those in the pipeline? What about the recruitment spree? Any pause and inquiry? What about those inquiry reports that the EC itself initiated in 2018-20? More importantly, what about EC, FC, AC and GC minutes and agenda notes since NKC took over in 2019 to date; have those been uploaded?

Cna you get the media yapping on these? Or even the fact that certain "concerned students' from NLU Lucknow and Jodhpur have keyed in their distant solidarity? By the way what about NLU Allahabad and those NLUs whose VCs are members of NUJS' EC?

This doesn't seem to be an official endorsement from the GNLU SBA. It's just an unaffiliated group of students doing so because they see it as a sexual harassment issue. So unfortunately I don't think it's a case of inter-NLU solidarity. I do not see a return to inter-NLU solidarity because the current set of students in NLUs are selfish and hyper-competitive. Their thinking is: "Why should we stand up for NLU X when it has nothing to do with my NLU and NLU X is my rival in getting jobs with CAM and SAM?"

This is incredible news! Last time you saw an NLU SBA setting apart placement rivalries and supporting another NLU SBA was in the pre-Covid 2010s. There was a wave of NLU student protests during that period, with almost 12 NLUs protesting against their VCs in a span of 3-4 years. One of the hallmarks of those protests was cross-NLU support, with each NLU SBA offering a letter of solidarity to the other. Unfortunately, several factors led to this phenomenon dying down, such as:

1. Covid

2. A new generation of students with a different mindset. Some students were more interested in fighting woke culture wars than fighting for administrative transparency.

3. NLSIU SBA selfishly dissociating itself from other NLUs, following Sudhir's reforms and the Karnataka HC judgement holding that only NLSIU is a national institution (which NLSIU alum ASG Vikramjit Banerjee had selfishly argued before the court).

4. Death of LI and change in attitude of BB. In those days, LI used to be a news site and BB used to be an honest and pro-student news site (unlike now, where BB has blacked out news of the NUJS student petition against the VC and news of corruption in other NLUs). LI and BB used to regularly publish campus news and take a pro-student perspective Different SBAs also leaked news to LI and BB, and there was a competition between LI and BB on who would get the scoop first! Sadly, this died when Kian quit this space.

So it's a welcome change seeing GNLU trying to revive the era of inter-NLU solidarity. But fingers crossed on whether this will stay. 🤞
