Support pours in for striking guest lecturers
The Hindu
AIDSO writes to Education Minister
Support is pouring in for guest lecturers of degree colleges who are on indefinite agitation across the State in support of their demands.
On Tuesday, the Mysuru unit of All India Democratic Students’ Organisation (AIDSO) extended its support to the guest lecturers in Mysuru as they have continued to strike since the last many days seeking justice from the State Government. The lecturers are boycotting classes and staging demonstrations seeking job security.
AIDSO, in its letter to the Minister for Higher Education, said the guest lecturers are in distress and struggling with uncertainty over their jobs and salaries. Many of them are working as guest lecturers in colleges for the last 10-15 years and many are highly qualified with doctoral degrees and cleared NET, which gives them eligibility to become assistant professors in degree colleges and universities.
