Two days after then Search Committee Member Ramakrishna Ramaswamy wrote a letter to the President of India for removal of Jamia Millia Islamia Vice Chancellor Najma Akhtar claiming that the Central Vigilance Commission had denied vigilance clearance to Akhtar in January 2019, the Jamia teachers slammed Ramaswamy on Friday.
“Right after assuming her office, Akhtar streamlined the administration, and brought transparency in everything, including admission process, appointment of new faculty members and promotion of the existing faculty members and other staff,” said members of Jamia Administrative Staff Association (JASA). The Jamia Teachers Association (JTA) has also come out in support of the V-C.
