UGC Rules Will Increase Discrimination: UGC Promotion of Equity Regulations 2026 claim to end discrimination, but in reality, they will increase it. After tragic cases like Rohith Vemula and Payal Tadvi, Supreme Court emphasised the need for safer universities. But safety cannot come at the cost of basic justice....

#WATCH | Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala: On the Supreme Court staying UGC's Equity Regulations, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi says, "I welcome this judgment because the UGC guidelines are highly discriminatory. To address discrimination, they were bringing more discrimination to campuses, and there are three points I have continued to raise, which even the Supreme Court has validated. The concerns that I was expressing with regard to the penalty clause. What do we do with regard to that, in terms of the ability for everybody who is on the campus, who faces some kind of discrimination? They should be able to go to the equity committee to address it. Unfortunately, that was not doing that. It was only giving a platform to SC, ST, and OBCs to be able to do that, while the general caste students were left out in the cold, and they did not have that particular pathway. Equity squads, through the implicit and explicit nature of discrimination, could take a call. Implicit could mean anything as far as the equity squad is concerned. Would it be through words, through actions, or through some perceptions or preconceived mindset about discrimination? Those were the things which I was speaking about. The Supreme Court has put a stay on it. I welcome it, and I hope the Government of India withdraws this particular guideline and ensures that any guideline that comes into place to address discrimination is not discriminatory in its nature."

#WATCH | Draft UGC (Minimum Qualifications for Appointment & Promotion of Teachers and Academic Staff in Universities and Colleges and Measures for Maintenance of Standards in Higher Education) Regulations, 2025 released. UGC Chairman Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar says, "Faculty members are the backbone of our universities and colleges. So, when we select and promote them, we need to evaluate them holistically. In the earlier regulations, we were driven by quantitative evaluation such as the academic performance indicators. Whereas, in the new regulations that we are bringing out in the draft regulations, there are many opportunities that we are creating to the faculty members. Earlier, if somebody had an undergraduate degree and PhD, they were not eligible to be appointed but now these new regulations provide that opportunity. So, there are 3 qualifications that we are providing for the new entrance into the universities and colleges. Those with undergraduate degree and PhD or a master's degree and PhD can apply without writing the UGC-NET. But those candidates who have a master's degree in non-professional programs such as Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences and Sciences have to clear UCG-NET to be eligible to become Assistant Professors. But candidates who have an engineering master's degree, such as ME and MTech, they don't need to write UGC-NET and they can directly apply for Assistant Professor positions in Engineering and technology programs..."

#WATCH | Noida, UP | On new guidelines of UGC, BJP leader Kalraj Mishra, "We have demanded that the unconstitutional rules, which are based on caste discrimination, and which include OBCs, should be amended. I believe that all sections of society need to be included in this. If any student from any caste or community faces discrimination, they should have the opportunity to file a complaint, and I believe that everyone should be included in this process. I feel that the guidelines provided by the UGC will increase separatism and violate the fundamental rights of the Constitution, and therefore, it will be considered unconstitutional. Secondly, we demand that punitive action be taken against those who file false complaints. Currently, there is no provision for punitive action. We believe that there should be such a provision. Thirdly, we demand that the grievance redressal committee, which has been designated as the Equal Opportunity Centre, should have representation from all sections of society. Furthermore, the committee's timeframe, scope, jurisdiction, and other details should be clearly defined. We also met with a delegation today. We discussed all these points with them. We also met with Dharmendra Pradhan, the Education Minister."

#WATCH | On UGC Regulations 2026, Dr Vikas Divyakirti, founder and MD of Drishti IAS, says, "...No one is even talking about what happened to one or two children from the Northeast in Delhi. While the preamble of the Equity Committee even mentions the word 'race,' and also mentions 'place of birth, ' someone's place of birth is Nagaland, or let's say Mizoram, every person in Delhi is using strange language towards them, and that's not even addressed in the Equity Committee. In the Equity Committee, there is no representation for the people of different races, and no one is addressing it...The Equity Committee lacks representation of linguistic diversity. There is no representation at all. Why is it only about the OBC versus the General Category, and not about other categories?... You initially took six bases: religion, race, caste, gender, place of birth, and disability...When discrimination is mentioned, a whole paragraph is written, and in the discrimination paragraph, it clearly states religion, race, caste, gender, place of birth, disability, and any of them – there are six. Why did you need to write a separate paragraph on caste-based discrimination? When discrimination was already mentioned, why write a separate paragraph on caste-based discrimination? And if you did, why didn't you write a paragraph on religion, on race, on gender? All the categories. You should have written about all of them. Why are you segregating only one basis as a special basis in the definitions?

Trump's plan to dismantle the U.S. indoctrination system (college) by seizing funds from schools that refuse to comply with his accreditation system. 1. "Our secret weapon will be the college accreditation system." 2. "Fire the radical left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist maniacs and lunatics." 3. "We will then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose real standards on colleges once again." "These standards will include defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, and eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs." 4. "Remove all Marxist diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated at low-cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are actually learning and getting their money's worth." 5. "Direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination." 6. "Schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowments taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment." 7. "The seized funds will then be used as restitution for victims of these illegal and unjust policies."

Vision IAS Delhi Students Deserve Clarity. No student should have to prepare for UPSC with fear, confusion and uncertainty. Also, No institute should have to go through such a phase. Students have paid their fees, trusted the institute and planned their preparation around its classes, teachers, test series and study material. They are not asking for too much. They only want to know what is happening and what will happen next. This is not the time for silence. The Director, the management and the senior faculty should come together on one stage and speak directly to the students. They should clearly explain whether classes will continue, which faculty members will remain, how pending courses will be completed and what support will be given to enrolled students. Even if there are problems, students can understand them. What they cannot handle is being left without answers. At this point, assurance matters. A clear and honest interaction can reduce rumours, rebuild confidence and help students focus again on their preparation. Students are already carrying the pressure of one of the toughest examinations in the country. They should not be made to carry the burden of institutional uncertainty as well. They are not asking for promises. They are asking for clarity, continuity and responsibility. I am sure Vision IAS will resolve this.

So, there was no need for this. I feel that this should be reviewed by the UGC...Government should also think about this..." (27.01.2026)

#WATCH | On Supreme Court staying UGC Regulations 2026, Advocate and petitioner Vineet Jindal says, "Today, the CJI appreciated our arguments. We must say that it is a very big win for us. As we have been talking about specifically three issues, one is Section 3C which is talking about caste discrimination and in that particular section, the general caste has been excluded and all other castes have been included. So, this particular section has been sending a message that SC, ST and OBC has been discriminated against by the general caste. This was our argument before the CJI and he appreciated our argument and especially stated that what we are saying is correct and if such sections are there, it will definitely be very harsh and discriminatory for the general caste and this should be amended. The other part is in respect of the equity committee which is formed under Section 18 of these new UGC sections. There are no specific representations cited in these particular rules for the general community. CJI also admitted this argument of ours and suggested that it should be formation of a specific committee which includes academicians, social workers who have knowledge on these particular subject and now this matter is posted for 19th March and hopefully something good will happen."

Senator Malcolm Roberts: Does a health practitioner have the right to refer to a trans person's biological sex? Justin Untersteiner, Chief Executive Officer at Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA): I'm struggling a little bit with that question in regard to our role as, uh, the regulator. I don't know... Senator Malcolm Roberts: Is it discrimination for a health practitioner to refer to a person's biological sex? Is it discrimination? Dr. Jamie Orchard, AHPRA's General Counsel: In respect of public comments by practitioners, you've heard earlier the discussion around the right of free speech and the fact that AHPRA and the boards are committed to those ideals, but there are limits to free speech and how people express themselves. Senator Malcolm Roberts: How can a doctor fulfill their ethical obligation to inform the public of potential harms of gender interventions and gender ideology without being accused of discrimination against LGBTIQA+ people? Justin Untersteiner: We will intervene where this goes beyond a debate about clinical pathways and treatments and moves into a place of hate or discrimination against individuals or groups. And again, I see firsthand the harm that discrimination and hate causes the community... Senator Malcolm Roberts: Medical Board of Australia's immediate action orders are implemented before the facts are established and before an investigation occurs. Is it reasonable to destroy a doctor's career for three social media posts without conducting an investigation? Three anonymous complaints, no patient complaints.

Today, on the 10th death anniversary of our dear brother Rohith Vemula, my heart aches with deep sorrow and unquenchable anger. At Hyderabad Central University, the brave comrades of the Ambedkar Students Association gathered to honor Rohith, Payal Tadvi, Darshan Solanki, and every Dalit-Bahujan student whose lives were stolen by the vicious grip of caste discrimination on our campuses. These weren’t mere suicides — they were cold-blooded institutional murders, deliberate acts of exclusion, humiliation, and cruelty that pushed brilliant young minds to despair. Rohith’s final words — “My birth is my fatal accident” — still pierce through the silence, exposing how caste hatred thrives even in the so-called temples of knowledge and progress. I bow in reverence to Radhika Amma’s unbreakable spirit, to the relentless fighters of ASA, and to every voice that refuses to let these names be forgotten. Your pain is our pain; your fight is our fight. As a proud voice from the Congress fold, I reaffirm our commitment: under the Congress governments in Telangana and Karnataka, the Rohith Vemula Act will be enacted in the coming months — a powerful law to criminalize caste-based discrimination, protect marginalized students, punish perpetrators, and ensure no Dalit, Adivasi, or Bahujan student ever feels disposable again. This is not just a promise; it is our sacred duty to annihilate caste from education and society. Rohith, Payal, Darshan — you are alive in every act of resistance, in every demand for justice, in the fire we carry forward. You live through us. Your sacrifice fuels our rage into unbreakable resolve for equality.

To the many of you who are students, staff, and alumni of Australian universities, we need your help! You may have heard that Universities Australia recently endorsed a dangerous and politicised definition of antisemitism. The Jewish Council opposes the definition because it threatens academic freedom, will have a chilling effect on legitimate criticism of Israel, and risks institutionalising anti-Palestinian racism. Some universities are now in the process of adopting or considering adopting the definition — but if we act together in this crucial window, we can turn this definition into a dead letter that is never implemented. Help us push back today by writing — as a student, staff member, or alumni — to your university, making clear your opposition to the definition and your concerns about its adoption. You can adapt your letter from the templates on our website ( Let’s make it clear that universities should be places where difficult conversations can happen without fear of censorship or reprisal, where Israel (or any other state) is not shielded from criticism, and where injustice, at home and abroad, is called out.

There was an India before this Bill. The India that comes after this Bill strikes at the very fabric of our Constitution and the intent of its makers. Today, the government is asking us to hand over a blank cheque. This Bill contains no clear mention of limits such as a 50% increase, no clarity on the basis of delimitation, and no transparent safeguards to prevent arbitrary action. It leaves open the possibility of an unfair, unjust delimitation process and places enormous power in the hands of a committee that will be appointed by the executive itself. How can this be called fair in a functioning democracy? How are we expected to trust a government that, over the past 12 years, has repeatedly pushed through draconian laws without meaningful consultation or consensus in Parliament? Laws that reshape institutions, alter balances of power, and weaken the spirit of federalism! As Chief Minister Thiru M.K.Stalin has rightly said, this is a fight we are prepared to take to the streets and to the people of Tamil Nadu. Because when faith in the parliamentary process is eroded, the responsibility to defend constitutional values must return to the people themselves. #Delimitation #TNWillFightTNWillWin

Destroying Elizabeth Warren on Firetrucks Nobody understands basic economics and business less than Elizabeth Warren and today she dropped a 10-minute video blaming Private Equity for the increase in the cost of firetrucks. A basic understanding of economics and fifteen minutes of research completely decimates her entire argument but her financially unaware audience will never even consider it. She acts as if the prices of almost everything haven't gone way up since 2017 but this is perfect because she can take an emotional cue (safety of people) and pin it on a small group of bad guys (in this case, Private Equity). While I am in no way a fan of Private Equity, I can't just watch her lie about these prices because it goes completely contrary to a basic understanding of economics, supply and demand, awareness of inflation, supply chain bottlenecks and other unnecessary costs dumped on the average citizen by people like her. The gubmint is almost always to blame and any reasonable person with limited financial understanding could destroy her entire premise in less than ten minutes. So, I did it for you. In the end, her whole point was nonsense, but her non-solution was even better: "we demand an investigation!" Best of luck, try again Liz!

Dear JAMB, JAMB Despite earlier reports informing you about the harassment faced by Muslim candidates over the wearing of the hijab during JAMB examinations, no effective action has been taken, and the situation appears to be ongoing. It should be clearly understood, as we have previously stated, that the hijab is not a form of fashion or cultural display, but a religious obligation in Islam. We therefore call on you, in the strongest terms, to urgently put an end to any form of discrimination or harassment against Muslim candidates in matters that are central to their faith. Are you expecting them to appear in examination halls without proper covering or to expose parts of their bodies? In our religion, this is not permissible, and we will not comply with such requirements. We strongly urge that all forms of harassment or discrimination against Muslim women for wearing the hijab be stopped immediately.

Dear JAMB, JAMB Despite earlier reports informing you about the harassment faced by Muslim candidates over the wearing of the hijab during JAMB examinations, no effective action has been taken, and the situation appears to be ongoing. It should be clearly understood, as we have previously stated, that the hijab is not a form of fashion or cultural display, but a religious obligation in Islam. We therefore call on you, in the strongest terms, to urgently put an end to any form of discrimination or harassment against Muslim candidates in matters that are central to their faith. Are you expecting them to appear in examination halls without proper covering or to expose parts of their bodies? In our religion, this is not permissible, and we will not comply with such requirements. We strongly urge that all forms of harassment or discrimination against Muslim women for wearing the hijab be stopped immediately.

Every day, I meet countless petitioners who come to me with different problems and hardships. But there is one reality that has shaken me deeply — not only as the Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad, but throughout my journey in TGSRTC, Cyberabad, and across various districts. Time and again, I have seen elderly parents abandoned by their own children when they grow old, weak, or unwell. This is not just heartbreaking — it is unacceptable. Caring for your parents is not a favour, nor a burden, nor a matter for debate. It is a birthright. There should be no arguments, no excuses, and no justifications. Remember this: the way you treat your parents today is the lesson your children are watching and learning. What you sow now, you will reap when you grow old. Let it be clear — mistreatment or neglect of elderly parents will not be tolerated. Strict action will be taken against those who abandon or ill-treat them. To every elderly parent who feels helpless or unheard: you are not alone. You can approach me directly. Your dignity, safety, and well-being matter. Hyderabad City Police CP Hyderabad City Police

IOBM student body unites to demand justice for a fellow female student who was reportedly expelled for complaining about alleged harassment she faced as the University responded by accusing her of being disrespectful to the staff. Universities in Pakistan for most part believe that students can be isolated, picked out and bullied and as there are no student unions who would care. However, the IOBM student body proved the administration wrong which as per reports has now led to firing of the transport staff member against whom the student had originally complained. It has also been reported that the University is now reconsidering the expulsion of the Student. The student must be reinstated at the earliest and inquiry should be launched against her hasty expulsion and allegations of harassment. This is not the first time a University has decided to act against alleged victims and whistleblowers. In 2021 a male student was expelled by IBA for publicly reporting the harassment of a female staff member by senior male staff members. The expulsion led to student protests resulting in the reinstatement of the whistle blower following my committee inquiries which found the male staff members guilty of harassment. Instead of knee jerk reactions to first complaints and then retreating under protest Universities must ensure proper mechanisms and transparency giving confidence to students to come forward instead of putting them under fear or coercive actions against them. The inquiries will not only embolden students but would also give fair hearing to those accused of harassment. Unfortunately even the premier institutes who claim to have comprehensive anti harassment policies in place fail to implement the same when the need arises and even try to rig inquiry committees or create hurdles for them. In 2014 when a professor at LUMs was accused of sexual harassment the first reaction of the administration and fellow faculty was to rush his defence and the LUMS inquiry committee also exonerated him and it was only later before the Ombudsman that the professor was found guilty resulting in the professor getting fired. Whether it is incidents of harassment, lack of facilities on campus, lack of maintenance of amenities and transport, issues of examination and other disciplinary measures the conduct of university administrations repeatedly remind us of the need for actual functioning Students Unions and Student representation within the university's governing bodies.
