The major reshuffle follows allegations of corruption and irregularities in several departments
The Madurai Kamaraj University administration has transferred a large number of its non-teaching staff within different departments (sections) of the university in what is seen by the staff as a major reshuffle done after a gap of many years.
The move follows long-pending allegations of corruption and irregularities in some departments, for which the same set of personnel serving in those departments for long years was cited as a primary reason. According to university sources, at least 130 staff, including about 50 regular staff and other temporary workers in the casual labour (CLR) and consolidated pay casual labour (CPCLR) categories, were transferred on Friday.
The entire non-teaching staff from the Research section and the office of the Additional Controller of Examinations (ACE) in the Directorate of Distance Education (DDE), from where maximum number of complaints were reported in the past, have been transferred to other departments.
It can be noted that the university’s Syndicate, in its last meeting, passed a resolution to constitute a committee to enquire into complaints reported against present Additional Controller of Examination M. Rajarajan and his office.
Reshuffle of all non-teaching staff was one of the key demands raised by Joint Action Council - Madurai Kamaraj University, a coalition of few teaching and non-teaching staff associations, to Vice-Chancellor M. Krishnan after he took charge in January.
Though a similar reshuffle was attempted when G. Arumugam, who has since retired, was acting as Registrar, it was revoked when P.P. Chellathurai, the previous VC, took charge.
The Vice-Chancellor said the mass transfer was done to clean up and to infuse new blood in all the departments.
Automation
Mr. Krishnan said a number of other initiatives were also being taken to address problems. V.S. Vasantha, Professor from School of Chemistry, has been appointed as Research Coordinator, he said.
Highlighting that inordinate delays were reported mainly in Research section, he said that steps were being taken to automate the processes. “We will soon have an online system, through which the scholars can track the status after submission of their theses,” he said.
Setting things right
