Seeking action against the managements and the principals of a few colleges which were allegedly functioning in violation of established norms, members of Madurai Kamaraj, Manonmaniam Sundaranar, Mother Teresa and Alagappa University Teachers’ Association (MUTA) laid siege to the office of Regional Joint Director of Collegiate Education in Pettai here on Wednesday.
The protesting teachers, led by S. Nagarajan, general secretary, MUTA, said the management of St. Xavier’s College, Palayamkottai, being run by the Jesuit priests, was refusing to appoint the senior-most professors as ‘Heads of Departments’ and instead was appointing the junior-most and “unapproved” faculty members as the Department Heads.
