JNU Vice-Chancellor Denies Recruitment Irregularities Amidst Allegations
Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Vice-Chancellor Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit has denied allegations of irregularities in recruitment processes, terming them a "malicious campaign" and "fake propaganda." The JNU administration stated that disgruntled left-leaning figures from the JNUTA (JNU Teachers' Association) are behind a "political campaign" to embarrass the university and the Centre. These claims follow defeats in Delhi High Court cases. The JNUTA and JNUSU (JNU Students' Union) have demanded the Vice-Chancellor's resignation and an investigation into the alleged recruitment scam, accusing her of turning JNU into her "personal fiefdom."
