Punjabi university teachers association (PUTA) is seems to be in no mood to accept the new appointments made by the vice chancellor Punjabi University, Ravneet Kaur, a senior IAS officer, for the smooth functioning of the university. Punjabi University VC is trying to diffuse the tension between the university administration-PUTA and Class A,B,C association.
Punjabi university vice chancellor has appointed Prof Varinder Kumar Kaushik as registrar and senior most faculty of the university Prof Pushpinder Singh Gill as the dean academic affairs, after the mass resignation tendered by the university teaching faculty, in protest. But PUTA out rightly rejected their appointments.
Today, PUTA has forwarded a letter to VP Singh Badnore, Punjab Governor and Chancellor of the university, requesting his immediate intervention to restore the dignity of Punjabi University teaching fraternity and requesting him to declare the new appointment as null and void and revoked with immediate effect.
PUTA President Nishan Singh Deol and Avneet Pal Singh secretary said in a signed letter to the chancellor ,that “on April 1, 2021 the officiating vice chancellor, in the presence of district administration and heavy police contingents, entered university campus late afternoon, and briefly attended her office to issue orders for the replacement of the Registrar, which was strongly condemned on the spot by one and all. On April 3, 2021 the officiating Vice Chancellor issued orders for the replacement of Dean Academic Affairs.”
They alleged that , the language used by the officiating Vice Chancellor towards both the outgoing appointees is highly humiliating, derogatory and vindictive, as evident from the copy of the appointment letters.The vindictive behaviour of the officiating Vice Chancellor is absolutely unacceptable and is condemned in strongest terms by the teaching fraternity of the University. The malafide attitude of the officiating Vice Chancellor is targeted against the teaching as well as non-teaching employees of the university and must be checked, for which your timely intervention is imperative and is requested by PUTA.That, any orders that are derogatory, divisive, technically and legally non-tenable and violative of the University Calendar should be declared null and void and revoked with immediate effect.”
