New Delhi, May 18: Members of Delhi University’s Academic Council ended their five-day long agitation over the semester system to attend a meeting with Vice Chancellor Deepak Pental today but came out “disappointed” as the VC refused to budge from his stand.
Pental had invited the agitating teachers for talks yesterday in a bid to end the stand-off.
Members of the Academic Council were on a sit-in since May 13 against what they called a unilateral imposition of semester-based syllabi in 12 undergraduate courses of the science department.
The sit-in started after a special meeting of the AC on Thursday approved the revised syllabi of the courses to be implemented from session 2010-2011.
The protesters demanded that the VC return to the conference hall, where they had camped post the AC meeting, addresses them and gives an ear to them.
