SHILLONG: The quibble between North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) and North-Eastern Hill University Teachers’ Association (NEHUTA) does not look like coming to an end soon with the latter on Tuesday accusing the NEHU Vice-Chancellor, SK Srivastava, of lying.
The NEHU had, a day ago, reiterated that the NEHUTA still continues to hold office “unconstitutionally”.
Terming the reiteration as a “Goebbelsian lie that would even shame Goebbels”, the NEHUTA said the general body has approved constitution of election committees for both 2019-20 and 2020-21.
“So the claim of administration that the election committee is constituted without approval from general body is unfair, false and baseless,” the NEHUTA said.
The NEHUTA also claimed that the students, non-teaching and teaching staff of the University have expressed their total loss of faith in the total and abysmal failure of largely absentee VC in maintaining academic, financial and administrative probity and transparency.
“The freefall of NEHU’s rank in all ranking estimates due to failure of performance by administrative head has brought down the image of the University beyond repair,” the NEHUTA alleged.
It also accused Srivastava of putting a huge loan on NEHU without any plan of repayment except raising all the costs of services.
“Being a public institution, this is a blow to the University. His sole intent is that NEHUTA should be stopped from raising such collective grievances so that he can go unhindered in carrying out his unstatutory acts,” the NEHUTA said.
