    Universities urged to cut academic ties with Pakisthan, Turkiye & Bangladesh
    (The Times of India, 2025-05-17) The Times of India
    The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) Thursday wrote to vice chancellors across the country urging them to sever academic ties with institutions in Pakistan, Turkiye, and Bangladesh, citing national security concerns. Institutions like Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Jamia Millia Islamia and Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University (CSJMU), have already suspended or terminated their academic collaborations with Turkish higher education institutions, while Delhi University is reviewing its MoUs. In a strongly worded letter, “Appeal for National Solidarity in Response to Pakistan and Its Allies’ State-Sponsored Terrorism Against India”, to all the 1,100 universities, AIU president professor Vinay Kumar Pathak condemned what he described as “state-sponsored terrorism” and criticised countries such as Turkiye and Bangladesh for supporting anti-India narratives. “These efforts aim to destabilise our democratic fabric and national unity,” the letter reads, calling on Indian universities to “review and, if needed, suspend or end” partnerships with institutions in the three nations. JNU has suspended an MoU with Turkiye’s Inonu University “due to national security considerations as JNU stands with the nation and the armed forces, many of whom are JNU Alumni,” said Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit, VC of the university. Jamia has suspended all forms of collaborations with Turkish educational and other establishments. UP govt-run CSJMU has terminated its MoUwith Istanbul University.

    UGC eases hiring contract teachers, opens V-C post to non-academics too
    (The Indian Express, 2025-01-07) The Indian Express
    In a major overhaul of the process of appointment of leaders in higher education, the University Grants Commission (UGC) issued new rules Monday which effectively give Governors in states broader powers in appointing Vice-Chancellors and opened the position to industry experts and public sector veterans, thus breaking from the tradition of selecting only academicians. According to government sources, if approved as is, the new regulations will give Chancellors greater control over Vice-Chancellor selection. This will likely have significant ramifications for Opposition-ruled states such as Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Kerala, where the government and Governor (who serves as Chancellor of state universities) are currently locked in disputes over the top academic appointment process. The new draft regulations — titled ‘University Grants Commission (Minimum Qualifications for Appointment and Promotion of Teachers and Academic Staff in Universities and Colleges and Measures for Maintenance of Standards in Higher Education) Regulations, 2025’ — have also removed the cap on contract teacher appointments. The 2018 regulations had limited such appointments to 10 per cent of an institution’s total faculty positions. The new rules will be finalised after the higher education regulator receives public feedback on the draft. “The Chancellor/Visitor shall constitute the Search-cum-Selection Committee comprising three experts,” the new regulations state. Earlier, the regulations mentioned that the selection for the post of Vice-Chancellor should be through proper identification by a panel of 3–5 persons formed by a Search-cum-Selection Committee but did not specify who would constitute the committee.
