While the state universities are gearing up for recruitment after a gap of two years, the circular from higher education department asking the universities to fill vacancies “only by redeploying excess teaching staff from Annamalai University” has not gone down well with the universities and qualified candidates.
The letter further wanted the universities ‘to furnish the reason to the government if a vacancy is not filled up with Annamalai University’s surplus staff.’ “It is completely unjustified and unfair. The letter denies autonomy to the universities,” a vice-chancellor of state university said.
Around 1,000 posts are lying vacant in state universities as there was recruitment ban for last two years. Some universities have not conducted recruitment for the last five years.
“Universities are governed by statutes and they all have their syndicates to decide on the recruitment. This decision asking universities to fill vacancies with excess staff is amounting to infringing the autonomy and powers of the universities,” a senior professor said.
Madras University which is currently facing financial crisis is unlikely to redeploy any of the excess staff from Annamalai University. “We are not in a position to redeploy any of the staff,” an official from the university said.
“Universities should be allowed to conduct their own recruitment,” said professor SS Sundaram, general secretary, Professors Forum of Madras University.
Anna University which is likely to be awarded with Institute of Eminence status is also unlikely to recruit any teaching faculty members from Annamalai University.
“The state government should stop redeploying Annamalai University faculty members who were recruited in excess bypassing all rules to government colleges. It would deny opportunities to the qualified and deserving candidates who were waiting for their opportunity,” said A R Nagarajan, the adviser to the NET SLET Association.
“The university was taken over in 2013. Six years have passed. But, still no enquiry has been conducted on the illegal recruitment of faculty members,” he said.
The state government should stop this. It would deny opportunities to the qualified and deserving candidates who were waiting for their opportunity
