The Association of University Teachers has urged Governor-Chancellor and Higher Education Minister to suspend the interviews scheduled for Monday as part of Career Advancement Scheme of Periyar University in Salem.
The AUT claimed the institution had violated the University Grants Commission norms pertaining to awarding CAS benefits.
AUT president P. Thirunavukkarasu said the university had followed the UGC guidelines of 2016 for all candidates. Whereas the Commission had issued specific guidelines for those appointed prior to the 2018 regulations and the State government had issued an order in this regard.
