Shillong, June 13: While welcoming the decision of the University Grants Commission to form an expert committee with regards to the irregularities within CMJ University, the KSU however questioned its delay to enquire into the anomalies.
Keeping in mind that the career of the students were affected because of the irregularities, the KSU felt the need that UGC would have acted a bit sooner
The KSU further lamented that it has been one month since the anomalies was surfaced but action was too slow to be taken against it.
As per the information gathered by the KSU, the UGC had inspected as many as 20 private universities in New Delhi within a month, however, the UGC failed to do the same in the state of Meghalaya having only 7 private universities.
“Is this discrimination against the people of the state and the region as a whole?” KSU Education secretary Donald Thabah questioned at the same time, called upon the UGC to inspect all the private universities in the state and not only CMJ University.
While condemning the regional office of the UGC based in Guwahati for not providing appropriate information when sought by the students, the KSU Education Secretary Donald Thabah informed that the students were instead asked to seek the same from Delhi.
“If the office in Guwahati has no role to play or could not provide the required information then what is the use having a centre in that area when the same could not provide any service to the people of the region,” Thabah added.
Meanwhile, the KSU has stated that if the UGC delay in conducting inspections of all the private universities in the state, they will be forced to take their own course of action to tackle the establishment of such universities in the state.(SP News)
