Jamia Requires Faculty Presence In Official Class Groups
Jamia Millia Islamia wants each class to use an official online group for school-related information.
Students have been told to avoid unofficial class groups.
Each official group must include a teacher chosen by the university.
A student class representative will run the group as its administrator.
The teacher will watch what is posted and help ensure that academic information is accurate.
The university says some unofficial groups included non-academic or objectionable content.
Official groups should mainly be used for classes, studies, and academic activities.
Jamia says this policy is meant to give students a reliable and clearly managed source of information.
