Delhi University Vice Chancellor Dinesh Singh has reportedly resigned following the raging controversy over the Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP).
There has been a tussle going on between the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the DU over implementation of the FYUP.
Earlier today, the Supreme Court dismissed a petition asking it to intervene and resolve the matter. It has instead asked the petitioner to approach the high court.
Slamming his resignation, Dr. Inder Kapahi of the National Democratic Teachers Foundation (NDTF) said, "Resignation is not enough. We want an inquiry into his term."
The University Grants Commission (UGC) had on Sunday issued a directive to DU asking it to scrap the FYUP.
The order fuelled criticism from some quarters that the UGC was trying to over step its boundaries.
DU students as well as aspiring students have been facing a lot of difficulties due to the ongoing tiff between the UGC and the university over the FYUP.
