A resolution too was passed during the meeting today against dissenters after the Dean, Faculty of Social Science expressed anguish over the way some teachers treated her in faculty meeting. “While all the courses were discussed thoroughly, two-three teachers came to her and asked her ‘Do you understand the language of dissent?’ in an attempt to hijack the meeting,” she said. “The house took a serious view of it and passed a resolution, condemning the incident,” said Prof Rajesh Kumar Jha, an AC member. While the Political Science course was being debated, the whole house welcomed it even as a handful raised a note of dissent, he added. In fact the Political Science department will offer some powerful insights into history and women empowerment. The HoD of the Political Science department, Prof Ujjawal Singh said, “The syllabus of Political Science got a huge applaud, especially the three new courses—Understanding Ambdekar, Gandhi and the Contemporary World and Woman, Power and Politics .” |
