Mysuru: The issue of appointment of non-teaching staff in the University of Mysore (UoM) allegedly in violation of rules during December 2016 is back in news with the University Researchers Association demanding immediate action against those who were involved in the appointments. The Association has warned of indefinite dharna after July 10 if no action is taken.
It may be recalled here that the State Higher Education Department had directed the University to terminate the appointment of 124 non-teaching staff in the University done in December 2016 during the tenure of the former Vice-Chancellor Prof. K.S. Rangappa and Prof. R. Rajanna, the Registrar (who recently took charge as Registrar for the second term). The Department has acted on the instructions from the office of Governor Vajubhai R. Vala. The Department has also issued orders to file criminal cases against those involved in the irregularities in the recruitment.
