Cry (Campus) Freedom~II

Since 2011, all statutory authorities of universities in West Bengal, even Boards of Studies, are constituted with nominated persons. Even the Deans of Faculties are appointed with the approval of the State government which has issued policy directions for the formation of nominated Students Councils in place of the traditionally elected Students Unions. Even Jadavpur University, a Category I Autonomous University, has not been spared of these orders, even as the students held a referendum to reject the proposed guidelines.
