Trichy: Redeployment of excess teachers from Annamalai University, Chidambaram to three government colleges in Trichy and Pudukottai has created a ruckus as the guest faculty members working in the colleges have been asked to leave the institutions.
Guest faculty members in the recently-converted government arts and science colleges in Lalgudi, Orthanadu and Aranthangi staged a protest seeking reinstatement of the guest staff members who have been asked to leave the colleges.
The director of collegiate education, Chennai has ordered for the redeployment of 39 excess teaching staff from Annamalai University on Tuesday. These teachers have been redeployed in place of vacant posts in colleges, which have been presently being managed by ad hoc teachers for years together.
With the redeployment of the staff, four guest faculty members from Lalgudi college and three each from Orthanadu and Aranthangi colleges have been asked to leave.
One of the guest faculty from Orthanadu college said that she is working as a guest faculty for the last nine years and now suddenly she has been asked to leave the college despite being a qualified teacher.
UGC has mandated that not more than 20% staff members in an institution should be hired on ad hoc, but most of the constituent colleges under Bharathidasan University are run with more than 80% guest faculty members. While we have worked for the development of the college all these years we have been asked to leave all of a sudden, she said. There are more than 200 guest faculty members working in 10 constituent colleges working under Bharathidasan University, among which four have been converted into govenrment colleges recently. TNN
