Gurgaon: Professor, Lab Technician and other teaching staff and non-teaching staff with state universities have threatened the total closure of higher education, responding to government steps to take over their selection process.
After taking the leaves of the masses, last month, the staff urged the government to conduct consultations with them and roll back the decision or face the consequences.
“Nobody handles our problems.
The government and the Ministry of Education are not ready to hold meetings with stakeholders.
Until now, we have just gone for rotational bulk bunking because we do not want to influence the academic calendar and student schedule.
But now, we don’t have a choice but a total of university shutdowns throughout the country, “said Haryana Federation of University and Colleges Teacher Organization (HFucto) Chair of Vikas Siwach.
On November 8, the State Higher Education Department had told the government’s orders to carry control of making appointments in universities.
The university is directed to send requirements for appointments Group B to Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) and Group C and D shipments to the Haryana Staff Election Commission (HSSC).
To choose university registrants, the department has requested universities to change their laws to create search-cum-selection committees, including nominees from the Government, HPSC and the State Higher Education Council.

“This oppose the idea of ​​the university.
The university has the right to autonomy, and is true, because, in the arrangement of democracy, education cannot and should not be under political control.
We condemn this step, and our leader, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, has challenged the step.
If the government does not roll the order back, we will scrap when our government assumes the office, “said Congress state spokesman Haryana Pradesh Ved Prakash Vidrohi.
This step also poses the threat of political influence in designating the main authority which can ultimately disrupt the theme of doctoral research.
Some professors have threatened resignation because they cannot work in an environment that is strongly influenced by politics.
“University is a place where you challenge thoughts and ideas to improve our social and economic planning.
We examine several government schemes and make recommendations.
After that it is lost, the professor will be under pressure to surrender to the government’s desire to get a promotion or transfer.
Unhealthy, “said an economic professor at one of the state universities.

This is only to bring transparency and regularization in the appointment of staff meetings,” said a senior government official with Privy for this problem.
