SHILLONG: The NEHU Teachers’ Association served a legal notice to the vice chancellor of the university on Tuesday asking why no criminal proceedings should be initiated against him for the alleged manipulation and tampering of the “Executive Committee minutes to misguide the MHRD and the office of the Visitor of NEHU”.
NEHUTA members also boycotted the VC’s meeting on Tuesday in protest against “his brazen defiance of the Act and Statues of the university”.
“The VC of NEHU, Prof. S.K Srivastava, had convened a general meeting comprising all the teaching and non-teaching employees of the university without any agenda, which was highly irregular and improper. All the teachers of NEHU on the appeal of NEHUTA EC boycotted the meeting. The VC in the meeting informed the virtually empty house that he had decided to discontinue the payment of HASA to the employees of the University with effect from June 14, 2017,” the NEHUTA said. “The VC has been stubborn to discontinue an allowance enjoyed by the employees of the university by virtue of a statutory provision in the form of OE 10 of the NEHU ordinance since January 1995. The MHRD letter, which was in reply to a manipulated minutes of the Emergent Executive Council meeting held on May 15, was used as an alibi by the VC to repeal the ordinance OE 10. Although the VC had admitted to the Press of having committed an ‘inadvertent mistake’ by sending the manipulated minutes, he has refused to take corrective measures to communicate the truth to the MHRD and the office of the Visitor,” the NEHUTA alleged even as it aired other grievances plaguing the university.
