Indore: Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya has started probe into the case pertaining to leakage of names of selection committee members, a day ahead of interviews for appointment of contractual assistant professors at School of Commerce. “The case was serious. The university administration is probing into it,” said vice chancellor Dr Narendra Dhakad.
Much to embarrassment of DAVV, names of selection committee members had leaked on Friday. The appointment process, which was already witnessing protests by student leaders over other reasons, had given them more fodder to claim that gross irregularities are taking place in the recruitments and that it’s confidentiality has also not been maintained.
After receiving proofs of name leaks from a student leader, the university had suspended interviews for School of Commerce stating that the new dates would be announced later on. Dhakad said that the names of selection committee members were shared with some teaching staffers so that arrangements for their accommodation, transportation and meals could be made. “It appears that someone from them leaked the names,” the VC stated.
As reported earlier, DAVV started process to fill regular posts of professors and readers with assistant professors on contract basis. Education watchdog and advocate Nimish Pathak and NSUI protested the move saying the process is in gross violation of norms.
