JNU gender panel elections delayed

April 18, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 05:34 am IST - NEW DELHI:

The controversy over a sedition case against some JNU students, which triggered a nationalism debate across the country, not only affected the academic functioning of the university but has also delayed the election process here.

JNU has a Gender Sensitisation Committee Against Sexual Harassment (GSCASH), which deals with complaints of sexual persecution.

It consists of two student-elected representatives, faculty members, office staff and representatives from the JNU Students’ Union, JNU Officers’ Association and JNU Staff Association.

The election of the students’ representatives, which is conducted in April every year, will now be delayed by over five months in the wake of the recent turbulence on campus. —PTI
