They also seek fulfillment of their other long-pending demands
TheAssociation of Teacher Welfare, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad (ATWUASD), has set a 15-day deadline for meeting its long-pending demands and warned that it will resume the agitation if the demands are not met.
Addressing presspersons in Hubballi on Friday, association president Sunil R. Karikatti, vice-president Ravi Patil, secretary Mahantesh Nayak and executive committee member Manjula M. said that university vice-chancellor Mahadev Chetti is violating statutes with impunity and has lost his moral right to continue in the post as he is an accused in a criminal case. “We demand that the Governor and the Government sack him immediately to protect the dignity of the university,” they said.
Elaborating on the various illegalities said to have been committed by the vice-chancellor, Mr. Nayak said that whether it is recruitment of officers, assigning officers for in-charge duty, appointment of registrar, administrative staff, re-employment of retired personnel or any other issue related to the teaching and non-teaching staff, Prof. Chetti has violated rules, regulations and statutes.
