JNU admin withdraws new punishments for protest, violence etc after controversy; VC says unaware

Vice Chancellor Satishree Pandit claimed that she was unaware of the document being prepared and released.

Following a controversy over an order containing new punishments for various types of acts at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, the administration withdrew the directive on 2 March 2023.
Vice Chancellor Satishree Pandit claimed that she was unaware of the document being prepared and released.
The now-withdrawn rules concerned acts like protests, violence, and forgery, with penalties ranging from fines of ₹5,000 to ₹50,000, and cancellation of admission, or rustication.
Many students and teachers had called the order draconian.

The rules will apply to all students of the university, including part-time students

New JNU rules: Rs 20,000 fine for dharna, admission cancellation for violence

Students can be fined Rs 20,000 for holding dharnas and face admission cancellation or a fine of up to Rs 30,000 for resorting to violence at Jawaharlal Nehru University,

The rules will apply to all students of the university, including part-time students

Students can be imposed a penalty of Rs 20,000 for holding dharnas and face admission cancellation or a fine of up to Rs 30,000 for resorting to violence at Jawaharlal Nehru University, its latest rules stipulate.
The 10-page 'Rules of Discipline and proper conduct of students of JNU' has laid out punishments for different kinds of acts like protests and forgery, and procedures for proctorial enquiry and recording a statement.
According to the document, the rules came into effect on February 3. It came after the university witnessed a slew of protests over the screening of a BBC documentary.
The rules document states that it has been approved by the Executive Council, the highest decision-making body of the university.
However, Executive Council members told PTI that the issue was brought as an additional agenda item and it was mentioned that this document has been prepared for "court matters".
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad's JNU Secretary Vikas Patel termed the new rules "authoritarian ('tughlaqi')" while asserting that the old code of conduct was sufficiently effective. He demanded a rollback of this "draconian" code of conduct.
JNU Vice Chancellor Santishree D Pandit did not respond to texts and calls from PTI seeking her reaction.
The rules will apply to all students of the university, including part-time students whether admitted before the commencement of these rules or after, the document states.
Punishments have been listed for 17 "crimes" including blockage, indulging in gambling, unauthorised occupation of hostel rooms, use of abusive and derogatory language and committing forgery. The rules also mention that a copy of the complaints will be sent to the parents.
Cases involving both teachers and students may be referred to the Grievance Redressal Committee of the university, school and centre level. Sexual abuse, eve-teasing, ragging, and arousing communal disharmony cases are of the purview of the chief proctor's office.

On Sunday night, left and ABVP students clashed, leaving many injured. The university is not unfamiliar with controversies. 
Here are times JNU made headlines for unconventional reasons
In 2013, in a gruesome incident an undergraduage student of the School of Languages, Literature and Cultural Studies, hit his female friend with an axe on the head. Immediately after the boy, who was carrying a country made gun with him, nicked himself on the neck. The boy died, the girl survived. 
On February 09, 2016 a gathering was organised by certain left student organisations. The public meeting was held on the day of Afzal Guru's hanging in 2003. ABVP students protested against the event, and clashes ensued. A group of individuals allegedly raised anti-India slogans, on the basis of which, the police filed a sedition case against the then JNUSU president, Kanhaiya Kumar. Apart from Kumar, sedition cases were also filed against Anirban Bhattacharya and Umer Khalid.
After being released from jail, Kanhaiya delivered a speech late at night which was attended by thousands, launching his political career. 
Shortly after, BJP leader Gyan Dev Ahuja, alleged that the university was in fact a sex den and 50% of the rapes and molestation of women in Delhi were committed by students of JNU. He added further that 3,000 condoms and 2,000 bottles of liquor could be found each day in the campus. The university is 8,000 students strong as of 2022. 
That wasn't the only time JNU and condoms were used in the same sentence. In 2005, JNU got its first condom vending machine. Many Delhiits and students residing in Delhi used to make trips to the campus to "just look" at the machines. 
In November 2020, the JNU admin filed a case against unknown individuals for vandalising the not yet unveiled statue of Vivekananda. 
And earlier that year, before Covid was a perceptible threat, in January, around a hundred masked 'intruders' entered the university and beat up students. JNUSU president Aishi Ghosh was injured in the attack. No action against the perpetrators has been taken yet.
