MUTA seeks CBI probe into ‘irregularities’ in university
MADURAI: The Madurai Kamaraj, Manonmaniam Sundaranar, Mother Teresa and Alagappa University Teachers’ Association (MUTA) has sought a Central Bureau of Investigation inquiry into the alleged irregularities of the Madurai Kamaraj University administration in permitting National Institute of Applied Management (NIAM), New Delhi, to conduct business administration course of the university through off-campus learning centres.
Addressing a press conference here on Monday, MUTA general secretary S. Vivekanandan, quoting a local fund audit report, alleged that never in the history of the MKU was an MoU signed with a course fee sharing agreement in the ratio of 75:25 in favour of the collaborating institution.
UGC rules
He said that according to the University Grants Commission (UGC) rules , no university was permitted to allow private parties to establish off-campus centres to run a regular course beyond the university’s territorial jurisdiction without the permission of the UGC, All India Council for Technical Education and Distance Education Council.
Prof. Vivekanandan claimed that the agreement with NIAM had caused huge revenue loss to the MKU.
Even the list of off-campus centres, conducting the industry integrated M.B.A. and B.B.A. courses through NIAM, did not match with the one submitted for audit, he added.
Norms violated
He also charged that the Vice-Chancellor had violated norms while allocating projects for professors with a fund of Rs.10 crore obtained as the first instalment under the University with Potential for Excellence award.
The MUTA had sent letters to the State Government and Governor seeking their intervention, said Prof. Vivekanandan.
