Mangalore
By Our Staff Correspondent
MANGALORE, NOV. 12. The Academic Council of Mangalore University has resolved to direct permanently affiliated colleges to fulfil the conditions required for affiliation within three years. At its meeting on Wednesday, the council decided to initiate strict action such as cancellation of affiliation against the colleges that did not follow the directive. The Vice-Chancellor, B. Hanumaiah, who presided over the meeting, said the university reviewed the functioning of permanently affiliated colleges this year. The Karnataka State Universities Act, 2002 stated that the review should be taken up every three years. The local inquiry committees of the university had noticed certain lacunae in some affiliated colleges, he added. Basavaraj H.D., Virajpet MLA and council member, said that many colleges were not following the reservation rules in admissions and appointments. Many of them lacked basic infrastructure, but some local inquiry committees were not submitting proper reports. The university should send a clear signal to colleges to adhere to the conditions of affiliation, he added. Pratapchandra Shetty, MLC, wanted to know what action the university would initiate against colleges not fulfilling the conditions of affiliation. Dr. Hanumaiah said the university would issue notices to such colleges and decide on taking action such as cancellation of affiliation based on the explanation given by them. The council resolved that lecturers in undergraduate and postgraduate colleges should clear the national eligibility test or the State-level eligibility test within two years. Dr. Hanumaiah said lecturers would get four attempts in two years to pass the tests. The university would decide to cancel the affiliation of such colleges if they recruited lecturers who had not passed them even after two years.
Renaming approved
The council, following a directive of the University Grants Commission, approved the renaming of eight courses: Master of Tourism Administration as MBA (Tourism Administration); Master of Communication and Journalism as MJ (Mass Communication); Bachelor of Human Resource Development (BHRD) as BA (HRD); Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS) as B.Sc. (Computer Science); Bachelor of e-Commerce as B.Com (e-Commerce); Bachelor of Food Nutrition and Dietetics as B.Sc. (FND); Bachelor of Hospitality Science as B.Sc. (Hospitality Science); and Bachelor of Hotel Management as BBA (Hotel Management). Prof. Hanumaiah said some colleges had appealed to the university to retain the old names. The university had written to the UGC on the same. But the commission, in a letter on October 6, turned down the request.
