Haryana Government Plans to Abolish Long-Vacant University Posts Amid Faculty Protests
The Haryana Government has issued a directive to abolish newly created university posts that remain vacant for four years, aiming to implement economy measures. University faculty associations, including the Haryana Federation of University and College Teachers Organisations, oppose this move, arguing it overlooks reasons for delays in filling vacancies and could harm job prospects for qualified candidates. Protests involving teachers and students are planned across state universities to challenge the decision and urge reconsideration.
