NAGPUR: Nagpur university administration was once again cornered by angry members over various issues during senate meeting on Friday. This meet was the continuation of March 17 meeting which was adjourned.
The budget, however, would be discussed on Saturday as the question-answer session consumed most of the time of meeting that continued till late evening.
The administration was found wanting while replying to a majority of queries of the members. NU bosses seemed to be ill-prepared despite the fact that questions were submitted at least 21 days in advance and many of the controversial queries were dropped to avoid embarrassment in the house.
The members, cutting across party lines, unanimously demanded explanation from the administration led by vice chancellor Vilas Sapkal and registrar Mahesh Yenkie over their alleged inaction over various enquiry reports, while pointing out justices C L Pangarkar and GG Loney's reports. While Pangarkar panel was constituted to probe serious allegations of irregularities during NU senate and board of Studies (BoS) polls along with those of forging documents by some candidates, Loney panel was formed to enquire about roster scam, first exposed by TOI. Though Pangarkar's report was not opened, Loney had confirmed the scam asking NU authorities to immediately lodge a police complaint to nab the culprits.
Senior member Pramod Yeole read out TOI report of March 15 that informed about Pangarkar panel submitting its report to NU bosses, but no action was taken subsequently. TOI had exposed as to how the various political parties tried to blackmail NU bosses during polls and also issued threats to them.
He asked VC to explain Pangarkar panel's findings and action taken, however latter declined stating that they will first study the report. Members citing TOI report which quoted the registrar for admitting NU bosses receiving threats during polls, asked him to explain the house about happenings. But Yenkie surprisingly took a u-turn and declined that he had ever said that. The members then criticised the administration asking them as to why they don't issue clarification if media reports were incorrect, but latter failed to provide satisfactory answer to fuming members.
Mohan Bajpayee, while indirectly referring to justice Loney's recommendations, asked the administration as to why they were sitting on enquiry reports for over a year. He called for stringent action against the guilty officials as per recommendations.
When administration informed that both reports would be placed before the management council, the members came down heavily on them stating that those occupying chairs should take action. The VC then made a statement that action on both the reports would be taken before next senate in November.
Earlier, the members flayed bosses for not appointing a full time PRO after which they immediately announced that deputy registrar Prashant Mohite was asked to take up the charge.
