New Delhi sources have reported that after the state assembly had adopted a new resolution seeking 85% reservation in admission for city students in 28 Delhi University colleges that are funded by the Delhi government, teachers and students from the varsity questioned the "politically motivated" move that affects the "fabric of the varsity".
Meanwhile the Delhi Assembly also adopted another resolution demanding an amendment in the Delhi University Act, according to which no other university in Delhi is legally authorized to give affiliation to any college. It was stated that the Delhi University Teachers Association (DUTA) Executive had passed a unanimous resolution to oppose the proposal of the Delhi Government to reserve 85%seats for Delhi students in the 28 colleges of Delhi University in whose governance Delhi Government has a role.
Moreover a statement from DUTA had stated that "Delhi University is a
Central University with an All-India character that caters to students from
across the country. This facilitates a regional, ethnic and social diversity of
students and faculty that enriches the learning process and fosters a spirit of
national integration".
