Displeasure expressed by Senate members of Savitribai Phule Pune University
Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) will now take strict action against persons who live in the SPPU hostels illegally or without admission or identification.
Rahul Sasane, PhD student & student leader, SPPU, said “All students, taking admission at the university, only should get hostel accommodation. No student should be deprived of education due to lack of hostel. Along with this, if persons, who are not admitted in any department of the university, are living in the university hostels, action should be taken against them.
