Shillong, Nov 13: NEHU Vice Chancellor has appointed two pro-vice chancellors- Femeline K Marak, department of Garo for Tura and SM Sungoh, department of Education NEHU for Shillong, on Wednesday.
NEHUSU has rejected the order of the vice chancellor to appoint pro-vice chancellors for Shillong and Tura campus.
NEHUSU general secretary Toniho Kharsati told reporters that the students’ body does not welcome the decision.
“Let me put the record straight that we have started this indefinite hunger strike on one basic demand that is the removal of the VC. We were eagerly waiting for the response from the VC as we have seen that even the CM had stated that by evening we will get a favourable response. This response instead of the VC leaving the campus and him appointing the pro vice chancellors is something which the students union doesn’t accept at all. We will boycott this decision,” he said.
According to the student leader, the notification issued by the assistant registrar (planning) should have been issued by the joint registrar establishment.
