At least ten Dalit professors at Bangalore University have resigned from their additional administrative responsibilities, citing discrimination in how these roles are assigned.

The professors say that earlier they were given meaningful administrative duties alongside their academic work. However, recently, they have been assigned only “in-charge” roles, which they feel is a way to limit their authority. They also claim the university is denying them their earned leave benefits connected to these responsibilities.

In a letter to the university’s Registrar (Administration), the professors wrote, “While giving additional administrative responsibilities, it is just mentioned as ‘in-charge’, and also trying to avoid the Earned Leaves credited to our accounts. Despite repeated requests regarding this, there was no response from the university authorities. Hence, we are all submitting resignations for the additional responsibilities given to us.”

Among those who resigned are Prof. C Somashekar, Director of the Ambedkar Research Centre; Nagesh PC, Director of Student Welfare; Sudesh V, Coordinator of PM-USHA; and Muralidhar BL, Director of Distance Education and Online Education Centre.
