Further Demonstration
Against EU Imperialist Intervention in Higher Education ! Further Demonstration Against EU 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 theDepartment of Sociology on 28th February. 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. The Struggle Continues. The illegally established “European Studies Programme Centre” is having an “interactive session” with 160 students of the Sociology on Saturday, 30th January at 1:45 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the International Guest House in the Committee room, ground floor. Students are also invited for lunch at 1:00 p.m. prior to this. Please join the protest demonstration.
