Madras varsity syndicate nod to consider past experience of teachers

Career advancement scheme benefits for newly appointed teachers of the University of Madras will accrue faster now. The univeristy syndicate, which met on Friday, has approved the decision to take into account the previous experience of the teachers in other universities or colleges for promotions.

The university will add two years to the teachers’ experience and they will be promoted to the next scale of pay. This would also reflect in the retirement benefits.

In 2009, the university decided that such teachers would be eligible for salary arrear benefits for the two years they were entitled to till retirement. The calculations of the amount due was laborious and difficult. The university has dispensed with the arrears disbursement.

Nod for selection panel

The syndicate has approved the decision to allow minority-administered colleges to constitute their own selection committee and include an expert from the university in the panel to appoint the teachers and principals.

A minority college had sought legal intervention as the appointment of principal had been stalled by the university. The syndicate has also decided to constitute a committee to look into the complaints of a section of non-teaching staff who have been overlooked for promotion as their educational qualifications do not comply with the requirements stipulated by the government.
