Resist Imperialist Intervention in Higher Education !
A very successful protest demonstration took place in Delhi University
at the inauguration of the “European Studies Programme Centre”, in the
Department of Sociology. In anticipation of the protest the venue was suddenly
changed from the Department of Sociology to the Vice-Chancellor’s
Administrative Block. Some one hundred teachers and students protested against
this centre being established without the agreement of the concerned department
let alone the Academic Council or the Executive Council. Faculty members
pointed out how the courses and research programmes were to be changed in the
line with the demands of the European Union. A number of students related this
development to recent changes in the university in line with neo-liberal
policies. Participants pledged to continue the fight against imperialist
penetration in the university
