The students of the School of Open Learning, Delhi University, are highly disappointed by the recent developments in the course structure and the tenure of the regular courses of Delhi University.
Prithvi Singh of the Correspondence Students’ Rights’ Movement (School of Open Learning, University of Delhi) said, ‘As the course structure in the SOL remains unchanged, there are no four year courses here’.
Their apprehension is that since all the courses in the SOL will be of three years duration, next year onwards the existing honors courses in the SOL would be scrapped and all students would be given a graduation degree without honors’.
‘Though we have sought clarification from the university administration over this issue several times, they have done nothing so far to allay the widespread rumors about the scrapping of the honours courses in the SOL’.
‘We would like to warn the university administration that we would not tolerate the scrapping of the honours courses in the SOL and if the university administration goes ahead with this, we will start an agitation and disrupt the admission process for the next academic year’.
Shahnawaz another SOL student said, ‘We were shocked to learn of the announcements made by the vice-chancellor that laptops would be given to all students. No such provisions have been proposed for us.’
