Draft UGC Regulations Threaten Private College Owners’ Rights, Says Aided College Teachers’ Association
15 January 2025 | The Hindu
The University Grants Commission is attempting to undemocratise the university system, said the Aided College Teachers Association with its new draft proposals.
The members said the UGC’s draft proposals on appointment of Vice-Chancellors, released 10 days ago gives broader control to the Governor in constituting the search panel. The selection of non-academics to the hitherto post held by academicians could be dangerous, they said. The new rules, if adopted, may further escalate the friction between the government and the Governor and worsen the academic and administrative condition in the universities, they fear.
