Recently, JNU asked at least five professors emeritae, including historian Romila Thapar and sociologist TK Oommen, to submit their CVs to a university-appointed committee.

This is part of revised guidelines consistent with practices of some other universities -- at least that’s what JNU administration says -- but it’s raked up a controversy as to what these guidelines are.
