GULBARGA: The Akhila Bharatiya Vidhyarthi Parishat (ABVP) on Tuesday demanded that the Government cancel the order of appointments to the Board of Appointments (BoA) for different faculties in the Karnataka State Women's University, as the secret list of the BoA, consisting of the names of experts from different universities, had been leaked and was in circulation among the candidates who had applied for vacant posts in the university.

State Secretary of ABVP Prabhudev Kapgal, who released the document consisting of the names of the BoA for different faculties as announced by the Government on January 31, said that the leak would give room for financial and other irregularities in appointments.

Terming the leak as a serious matter, Mr. Kapgal said the State Government should cancel appointments to the BoA and reconstitute the BoA to ensure that appointments to teaching posts in the university were done purely on the basis of merit .

Mr. Kapgal said the process of conducting interviews in some of the faculties had been completed and the State Government should direct the authorities in the university to stop all recruitments and restart the process only after the BoA is reconstituted.

He said competition among teachers for recruitment to the university was tough since the State Government had imposed a ban on the recruitment of teachers in higher educational institutions. There was a ban in all other universities on recruitment of the lecturers, readers and professors, he added. The State Government as a special case had relaxed the ban for the niversity after taking into consideration the high number of vacancies.
