IMPHAL, September 24: The Manipur University Teachers Association (MUTA) has decided to launch a non-cooperation movement in protest against the inaction of Prof HNK Sarma, Vice-Chancellor MU to fulfill many of the demands of the association such as implementation of HAG scale, appointment of Pro Vice-Chancellor, Finance Officer, Controller of Examinations, various Directors, filling of faculty positions etc as well as non-changing attitude of autocratic style of functioning.
In a statement, the MUTA said the movement will cover everything except the normal teaching and examination activities of PG classes and Ph D course works of the university.
“The non-cooperation movement will continue till October 31 to otherwise the total boycott of the Vice-Chancellor will be launched if the demands are not fulfil by then,” the statement cautioned.
The MUTA executive committee also discussed the prevailing situation in the Manipur Institute of Technology (MIT), a constituent college of the university where the members felt that the situation has gone out of proportion due to the negative attitude of the Principal in-charge and indifferent attitude of the university authority especially of the Vice-Chancellor.
All the members also resolved to appeal to the university authority to bring an amicable solution and resume the normal activities as soon as possible because indefinite suspension of classes will be more harmful than bringing normalcy to the technical institute, it added.
