Unanimous resolutions passed by the Executive Committee of the Aligarh Muslim University Teachers’ Association (AMUTA) at its meeting held on April 13, 2012 at 8:00 PM

1.  The Executive Committee condemns the bypassing and violation of House Allotment rules by the Property Office and the Finance Officer recently. The committee is concerned that the rules framed by the AMU Executive Council have been totally ignored and the practice followed for decades has been arbitrarily changed to suit personal interests. The committee wants it to be noted that this is a glaring example of the high handed attitude and willful behaviour of the University functionaries’ in the absence of a regular Vice-Chancellor. The Executive Committee endorses the letter of the Hony. Secretary, AMUTA addressed to the Vice-Chancellor and demands that action should be initiated to fix responsibility and take action as requested therein.

      The Executive Committee, further, appeals to all members of the Association to keep in mind that generally rules are meant to ensure the greatest good of the greatest number but, if we condone violation of rules, to benefit an individual or a group then we can forget any hope of improvement in the University affairs, that is already reeling from large scale violation of rules in the recent past.

 2.  The Executive Committee notes with alarm and condemns the increasing acts of examination related indiscipline at the examination centers. We would appeal to our students to maintain decorum and preserve the sanctity of the examination process. We expect that the students would remain disciplined so that the examinations proceed normally. We trust and hope that the teachers shall not be compelled to keep away from the examination process as a last ditch effort to safeguard its inviolability.
