MADURAI: Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU) Vice Chancellor M Krishnan said teachers who do not have the qualification as per the University Grants Commission (UGC) norms would not be able to continue their work from this academic year (2019-20) itself.

Registrar of the university V Chinniah, on Thursday, had sent a circular to all its affiliated colleges stating, “It has been informed to all the affiliated colleges that the engagement of teachers who do not possess the qualifications as per UGC norms will lead to disaffiliation of the courses. It is known from the letters received from the colleges that these teachers are still on the roll which is against the UGC norms and the orders of the High Court in the WP.No.2652 of 2-14 dated 11.08.2014.”

“Hence, it is informed that if colleges continue the courses with teachers who do not possess qualifications as per UGC norms they will be held responsible for the legal action by informing the same before the HC in the contempt petition.”

Krishnan told Express it was MKU’s duty to oblige by the HC order and the “university has to ensure that all the affiliated colleges follow the court’s order. Regarding this, MKU has sent many circulars to the affiliated colleges. On Thursday contempt petition on this case will be heard by the court. Before that MKU has to comply with the order of the court.”


He said at present 10 per cent of teaching staff from MKU constituent colleges did not have qualification as per the UGC norms. “Following the court order they will be terminated,” he added.
