The association of self-financing college managements has moved the Madras high court seeking ‘adequate representation’ for its members in the syndicate of Bharathiar University (BU).
Justice Pushpa Sathyanarayana, before whom the petition from Association of Self Financing Arts, Science and Management Colleges of Tamil Nadu came up for admission recently, issued the notices and directed the authorities, including the higher education department, to file their responses by June
12. As per Clause II of Section 24 of Bharathiyar University Act, two members selected by principals of affiliated colleges from among themselves and two members elected by teachers of affiliated colleges, other than principals, will be senate members of the university. A university professor for every 10 head of departments (HoDs) are nominated as members of syndicate by the chancellor on the recommendation of the vicechancellor.
It was the submission of the managements that at the time of enactment there were only 22 colleges and 10 departments under the university. Bharathiar University now has 39 departments on its campus. While there are 220 teachers, only 3,298 students are studying in the university. Whereas there are 122 affiliated colleges with 15,000 teachers for a student strength of 2 lakh. For such a huge number, there are only two principals and teachers each permitted in the university decision-making bodies. The number has remained static from the date of inception of the university, they said. Stating that as on date there are 90 self-financing colleges and 16 aided colleges having self-financing courses, the petitioner-association said there was no representation for secretaries of these affiliated self-financing colleges in the syndicate. Private self-financing colleges affiliated to the university are not provided with any representation in the syndicate, the petitioner-association said, adding that genuine grievances of affiliated colleges could not even be raised before the syndicate for redressal. Claiming that private self-financing colleges are discriminated against, and not given opportunity for representation in the syndicate, the petitioner prayed foradequate representation proportionate to the number of colleges affiliated to the university.
