SHILLONG: NEHUTA has expressed dismay over the claim of the vice-chancellor that he is purveying the truth.
In a statement on Wednesday, the NEHUTA said that the VC failed has to convene University court in four years of his tenure and it was very unfortunate that the association had to put pressure on him to do it.
“This clearly shows that he has least respect for the Act, statute, ordinance, rule and regulations of the University, which govern a premier institution like NEHU. As a consequence, without approval of budget and statement of expenditure by the Court of the University, the VC on his own whims spent public funds” the statement said.
The association cited the instance of the VC passing the buck about the condition of quotes below 10 per cent of the total value in a tender for work to his predecessor “which only means an admission that he is continuing with a wrong practice”. “To divert this litany of unstatutory practices, he is citing boycott of convocation, which teachers called for only to highlight ‘statutory violations’ by the VC”, it said.
It alleged that minutes of authorities are never circulated as per mandatory provisions.
“The NEHUTA is shocked and surprised at VC’s attempt to blatantly deny all these serious violations. Failure to answer an RTI regarding his regular absence from the office speaks for itself”, the statement said adding the VC’s attempt to divert these issues that are seriously damaging NEHU is reflected in his failure to speak the truth.
“His denial of an inquiry establishes all his omission and commission. Let an inquiry by a high power committee of the MHRD look into all these illegalities and irregularities to establish the truth by itself”, it said.
