COIMBATORE, MAY 09, 2019 00:00 IST

The Association of Self-Financing Arts, Science and Management Colleges of Tamil Nadu (ASFASMTN) has sought exemption for self-financing colleges from the qualification regulations proposed by the University Grants Commission (UGC).

In the memorandum submitted to Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami recently, the Association proposed that the teaching staffs, who have completed Ph.D or cleared National Eligibility Test (NET), State Eligibility Test (SET) or State Level Eligibility Test (SLET), may be considered only for promotion after they acquire the qualification as per the UGC regulation, highlighting that 75% of the existing faculty members will lose their jobs if colleges are forced to follow these regulations.

According to the memorandum, nearly 30,000 to 35,000 college teachers would lose their job.

The memorandum, which was signed by Ajeet Kumar Lal Mohan, president and T. Sethupati, secretary of the Association, also requested the Chief Minister to include two of its representatives along with the Director of Directorate of Collegiate Education in the fee fixation committee.

The memorandum said that the non-inclusion of president and secretary of ASFASMTN and the Director of Directorate of Collegiate Education would create apprehensions “in the minds of the stakeholders and students.”
