Signature crossed 9300 - request your effort for Our Next Milestone and inputs on Future Action Plan
Dear friends,
Thanks for your overwhelming support for this petition.
In only seventeen (17) days, more than nine thousand (9319 and counting) fellow humans signed the petition expressing their profound concerns about Jadavpur University's Academic Freedom and Autonomy.
We would earnestly request you to share the petition further with your JU friends (say, at least five persons from department, chapter, home, work and so on...) as well as follow up with the persons who you already shared with so that we may soon reach our current milestone of 10,000 signatures and eventually the next milestone of 20,000 signatures and beyond. We aim to reach each and every JU student, teacher, researcher, alumni and well-wisher and hence need your proactive support.
Meanwhile, we are discussing the next logical steps on this petition. We have received a few proposals on what should be our action plan to take this petition to its next level of impact. We request each of you to share your insights on our possible Future Action Plans because we do not want to remain passive just by raising an online petition and sharing it with the Chancellor, rather we would like to achieve a real tangible outcome for JU and all stakeholders.
I take this opportunity to remind us that our appeal to the Chancellor of the university is yet to achieve tangible outcome.
1) To take immediate and effective steps to safeguard the autonomy, freedom of education and research, and excellence of Jadavpur University;
2) To take effective measures to stop external political activities and interference on the Jadavpur University campus;
3) To ensure an environment for education and research at the university that is peaceful, safe, and free from political and governmental pressure.
If they are JU alumni, kindly request them to join this google group as well to expand the jualumni forum that was established 25 years ago in 2002. While we have garnered a large alumni support already, we are yet to get signatures of all prominent and progressive JU alumni and hence request your support to connect with JU alumni who are well-established and well-respected in their respective professional domains in India and abroad.

Thanks again for your continued support for this petition to make JU a real centre of academic freedom and excellence upholding the sacrosanctity of Scientific Temper, irrespective of formal IoE (Institutions of Eminence) recognition.
I earnestly look forward to hearing from each of you and working together so that we achieve expected success of this critical petition by the JUites, for the JUites & of the JUites because it is an idea whose time has come!
Regards,
Subhendu
