Madurai: The Bill to introduce the Common University Act will be placed in the budget session of the Assembly, and the Department of Higher Education is giving ‘finishing touches’ to it.
Before it reaches the Assembly, the draft contents of the Bill will be posted on the website of the Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education (TANSCHE) to seek public opinion and suggestions from academics and teachers.
A. Ramasamy, vice-chairman, TANSCHE, told The Hindu on Sunday that the draft Bill has been sent to the Law Department for clearance.
“The Common University Act is aimed at bringing uniformity in the administration of all universities. We will keep the draft contents in public domain and call for representations from stakeholders,” he said.
He said there was a need for uniformity because universities had different methods of administration, and the procedures for staff recruitment were also different. Changing the tenure of Vice-Chancellors from the present three years to either a four-year term or two terms of three years each was under consideration. The Department would consider all representations before going ahead with the Bill, he said. Discussions had been going on for the past two years.
