Overview
- JNUSU ended its 17-day hunger strike on Tuesday after the university issued a notice directing immediate revocation of rustication for five students.
- The vice-chancellor's notice named Aditi Mishra, K Gopika Babu, Sunil Yadav, Danish Ali and Nitish Kumar and said the students must pay fines before returning to campus.
- Minutes signed by Dean Vivek Kumar recorded the administration's pledge to withdraw all FIRs and proctorial inquiries and to form committees to review the Chief Proctor's Office manual, examine restoring the JNU entrance exam and audit hostel reservation rules.
- Students say rusticated leaders were denied medical check-ups during the first six days of the strike while the vice-chancellor says rusticated protesters received twice-daily health checks, a factual dispute that will be discussed in monitoring meetings.
- The administration also committed to structural audits, quick hostel repairs, geyser fixes and an Equal Opportunity Office audit, and a follow-up meeting is due in two weeks to verify whether the promises are carried out.
