The Association of University Teachers (AUT) staged a protest in front of the Regional Joint Director, Directorate of College Education, highlighting the non-payment of salary for the last seven months to several teachers and employees in 10 colleges that were once constituent colleges to the Bharathidasan University and were converted into government colleges in 2019.
Around 75 members of the AUT were detained. “Salaries have not been paid to over 100 persons since November 2023. Following confusion over who will bear the salaries of the guest lecturers, teachers paid on hourly basis and non-teaching staff, the university and the State government have been denying our due salary,” said a guest lecturer amongst the protesters.
“Despite taking up the issue with the Chief Minister’s special cell, the Higher Education Ministry and the Director of College Education, action has not been been taken in the matter so far. Due hikes as per UGC guidelines were not given to those under these 10 colleges,” a protester added.
