The Higher Education Institutions Will Set Up Equal Opportunity Centres to Oversee Policies to Eradicate Discrimination
NEW DELHI: The University Grants Commission (UGC) on Thursday issued draft guidelines for the establishment of equal opportunity centres (EOCs) in higher education institutions (HEIs) to oversee effective implementation of policies and programmes to eradicate discrimination.
The development comes after the Supreme Court on January 3 directed the higher education regulator to notify within six weeks new regulations to combat caste-based discrimination and suicides in higher education institutions. The directive from the apex court came during the hearing of a 2019 petition filed by Radhika Vemula and Abeda Salim Tadvi, mothers of Rohith Vemula and Payal Tadvi, who died by suicide in 2016 over alleged caste-based discrimination.
