Move to allow engg. colleges to offer arts, science courses opposed
ERODE, JANUARY 25, 2019 00:00 IST
The Association of University Teachers (AUT), Zone IV, has opposed the decision of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to allow the engineering colleges to offer arts and science courses.
The executive committee of the association under the chairmanship of P. Kamalakannan was held recently in which the following resolutions were passed unanimously. The AICTE had earlier opposed the move to allow arts and science courses in engineering colleges. But reversing the decision would affect the students. The AUT welcomed the decision of the State Government to extend the period of government takeover of Chikkaiah Naicker College for two more years under the Tamil Nadu Private Colleges (Regulation), Act, 1976. But it urged the government to declare the college as government college as demanded by the people in and around Erode district. A resolution strongly condemned the ‘anti-employees’ attitude of the Vice-Chancellor of Periyar University, Salem, in imposing compulsory retirement to Ms. Sivagami, office assistant, without observing the rules and regulations of the Statute of the university. The resolution said that the action of the syndicate exposed the deliberate intention in victimising and punishing a member associate with employees union.
The AUT urged the Vice-Chancellor to reconsider the decision and withdraw the order served on her. It also decided to support the indefinite strike by members of JACTO-JEO.
