New Delhi: Delhi University Teachers Association (DUTA) on Sunday wrote a letter to the Dean of colleges demanding all teachers working on an ad-hoc basis be given joining from July 1. "Institutions would require the assistance of all teachers for various academic processes and for the preparation of teaching-learning for the next semester. As per the ordinances, joining of ad-hoc teachers on the first working day after the vacation is crucial for protecting their vacation salary. Any measure taken by the University/colleges owing to the pandemic (like delayed teaching sessions or staggered teaching sessions) should not adversely affect the services or livelihood of teachers," DUTA wrote in its letter. "The December 5 Record of Discussion, Clause 2 states that it is expected that all ad-hoc teachers working or working in the current academic year shall be continued till recruitment of permanent faculty," wrote DUTA.
