JU violates its own order, still accepts banned degrees for employment

LG’s intervention, ACB probe demanded

Jammu:   It may sound strange but the fact has surfaced that the University of Jammu continues to entertain degrees obtained from Study Centres for employment in the university despite a ban imposed through a Notification issued by JU University in the year 2005.A copy of Notification issued by Registrar, JU of 5 October 2005 enjoins upon all concerned saying “It is notified for the information of all the concerned that any course run by Study Centre/Franchises of any University in the country except IGNOU be not recognized”Sources told that as per the spirit of this Notification, it was crystal clear that any degree obtained from Study Centre will not be recognized and hence not to be accepted after 2005, they divulged, adding that such degrees are being accepted with impunity even after 2005 for non-teaching contractual employment in connivance with involvement of University Employees, who are presently holding higher posts in Jammu University.Castigating such university employees openly flouting the varsity notification and urgent need to identify such black sheep in the administrative set up of varsity, the sources appealed the Lt Governor, JK that the documents verification of all the non teaching employees by University of Jammu from 2005 to 2011 may be got done to find out the factual details and punish the delinquent varsity employees responsible for facilitating contractual employments violating ban imposed in 2005. Such an action was taken by the JK government whereby documents verification of teachers in the Education Department was got done to weed out illegal entry in jobs, they added. They appealed and demanded the Lt Governor to take cognizance of the matter on priority and order thorough ACB probe.
