Human Resource Department (HRD) Minister Smriti Irani will preside over an emergency meeting of a University Grants Commission (UGC)-appointed 10-member committee on Monday afternoon in attempt to arrive at an acceptable solution to the ongoing academic crisis related to the controversial four year undergraduate programme (FYUP).
According to reports, the meeting will take place from 3 p.m. and is likely to be attended by the vice chancellor of Delhi University, key representatives of the UGC, the presidents of the Delhi University Teachers Association(DUTA) and the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) and representatives of college associations.
The meeting was called even as students continued their protests against the FYUP, taking their agitation to the gates of the ministry. On Sunday, the UGC issued a fresh directive to the Delhi University to revert to the three-year course and asked for a compliance report by forenoon on Monday. The UGC, which controls the university's purse strings, told the latter that any deviation from the directive shall be "deemed to be in contravention of the UGC Act, with its consequences".
