IMPHAL, Feb 12: The All Manipur University Students Union, MUSU, has strongly condemned and denied the statements made by the public relations officer of the university. The PRO in his statement noted that the University Grants Commission sanctioned a post of professor in physics during 6th plan when the university was a state university.
In 2006, after the conversion of the university into a Central university the university decided to revive the post of professor of physics for the sake of growth of the department and in the interest of the students community pursuing higher education in physics.
The PRO further said that an advertisement for this post was issued vide advertisement No. 3/2006 in June, 2006 and as the response to this advertisement was not good enough, the university re-advertised this position vide advertisement No. 2/2008 in January 2008.
In the meantime, it was brought to the attention of the university authorities that the position sanctioned during the 6th plan period ought to stand lapsed as the university had not taken action to fill up this post for more than 20 years.
The university did decide to revive this position in 2006, but the legitimacy of this decision has been questioned, and in order to avoid any legal infringement and embarassment the meeting of the vice chancellor, pro vice-chancellor, dean of science, HOD physics and the registrar held on February 2009 decided to cancel the meeting of the selection committee.
The matter may now be placed before the executive council of the university for a decision and for the post of professor in mathematics the university had to postpone the meeting for want of quorum (only one expert; out of three invited turned up).
The MUSU strongly condemned the statement and the students union is still boycotting the vice-chancellor, pro vice-chancellor and registrar and it is compelled to continue its agitation in protest against irresponsibility as well as mismanagement of resources by the authorities, it said.
The students union also said that there must be lots of wrong doings inside the university and as of now the students union only found out such cases. But the apex body believes that such a case is not the only case the university had faced.
The students union also boycotted the upcoming meeting of the executive which is scheduled on February 15. The MUSU also mentioned that if all the three officials come up and apologise to the union then they were ready to talk on the matter, but until then the MUSU would continue the boycott.
The MUSU also requested the concerned authorities not to carry out any interview personally in private hotels.
The MUSU has no vested interest and they also stand for transparency and accountability, it said while admitting that the present agitation was in the best interest of the students community particularly for the university students and the whole students community in general.
