The Tamil Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front has written to Chief Minister M.K. Stalin alleging discrimination by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Madras.
The front’s general secretary K. Samuel Raj called for action against the V-C for violating the reservation norms in appointments and discriminating on the basis of caste.
The university called for 23 temporary posts of assistant professors for a period of over 120 days but did not reserve posts for various categories including Backward Classes (BC), Most Backward Castes (MBC), Schedule Castes (SC) and Schedules Tribes (ST). The rule that for any temporary posts lasting over 45 days, reservation must be followed had been violated, Mr. Raj said.
