AMU teacher's association demands transparency in admissions

Aligarh Muslim University Teachers Association (AMUTA) has called for greater transparency in admissions to the distinguished university.
In a letter to the AMU Vice-Chancellor, AMUTA Secretary Mustafa Zaidi urged him to take cognisance of the concerns of teachers on this score.
Zaidi also reiterated AMUTA's demand for instituting a CBI probe into this year's medical entrance test and he demanded that till such a probe was carried out, the incumbent Controller for Examinations and Admissions should be asked to step down.
The secretary said these measures were necessary to restore confidence in the admission system which had come under a cloud after the university first cancelled the admission test but later revoked the decision and decided to go ahead with entire process.

Another demand put forth by the AMUTA included ending the practise of calling meetings of the university's executive council without giving due time for out-station members to come to Aligarh.
The AMUTA believes that this practise violates the basic guidelines of the functioning of the association as out- station members are deprived of their right to participate in the decision-making process of the institution.
