Agitating students reject NEHU VC’s decision to appoint pro-VCs for Shillong and Tura campus
Agitating students of the North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) has rejected the decision of the vice chancellor Prof PS Shukla to appoint pro-vice chancellors for Shillong and Tura campus.
Speaking to media persons, NEHUSU general secretary Toniho Kharsati said, “We do not welcome the decision that is being taken by the VC for the matter of fact we condemn the decision of the VC saying appointing pro vice chancellors in both the campuses of Shillong and Tura.”
“Let me put the record straight that we have started this indefinite hunger strike on one basic demand that is the removal of the VC. We were eagerly waiting for the response from the VC as we have seen that even the CM had stated that by evening we will get a favourable response. This response instead of the VC leaving the campus and him appointing the pro vice chancellors is something which the students union doesn’t accept at all. We will boycott this decision,” he stated.
The student leader had also expressed reservation against notification issued by the assistant registrar (planning) and said it should have been issued by the joint registrar establishment.
“Therefore, this act of the VC in taking a decision (while) staying outside the university and not following the rules is something which students’ union heavily condemn and we do not see any merit in such decision and we boycott the decision of the VC,” he added.
