Teachers, however, claimed that the decision has been deferred and their demand to expand the committee was accepted.
“The existing committee is not representative as there are no elected teacher members. The committee will be expanded and will give its recommendations,” said Nachiketa Singh, an academic council member.
The university statement said the expanded committee will look into the operational aspects in context of DU and its colleges.
Teachers had earlier this year boycotted the evaluation process against the UGC guidelines on their service conditions. The protest was also against the Academic Performance Indicator (API) the point system which determines their promotion levels. Teachers claim the UGC notification makes the API stringent.
In May, the Delhi University vice chancellor had appointed a three-member committee to look into the issue of appointments.
