Jawaharlal Nehru University Vice Chancellor Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit says, "There is a chief proctor's office in every university as per statutes and ordinances, all universities, central universities, JNU has had a chief proctor's office since 1969. And there have been rules. Students have been fined for any type of misbehaviour or indiscipline, whatever the rules define as per ordinances and statutes of the university. This is no new rules that we have brought. It is the same old rules that two years back and the same fine was being paid from the last two years. I don't understand why suddenly this has come up. And this was passed in the executive council on November 24 and the same document was circulated to all members three weeks before. So it's more than one and a half months since."
