💨 Abstract

The All Bengal University Teachers Association (ABUTA) has criticized the University Grants Commission (UGC) draft recommendations on vice-chancellor appointments, claiming it infringes on university academic autonomy. The UGC is alleged to be acting at the behest of the BJP government, vesting the power to appoint VCs on chancellors/visitors, taking away the autonomy of other stakeholders.
