There was high drama before the start of a Syndicate meeting of Karnatak University in Dharwad on Saturday as protesting guest lecturers blocked the entry of Syndicate members by sitting at the entrance.
Consequent to the protest of the guest lecturers, the Syndicate meeting was delayed by over two hours as the Syndicate members had to remain outside.
The guest lecturers of Karnatak University and constituent colleges are on an indefinite agitation and their protest entered the ninth day on Saturday. Their demands include hike in pay and change in nomenclature. They are upset that the vice-chancellor who promised to take the requisite action earlier has failed to fulfil their demands.
