The Central University of Haryana (CUH) has withdrawn the additional charge of Central Public Information Officer (CPIO) from Dr Rajeev Kumar Singh, Assistant Professor (Political Science), two days after he lodged a written complaint of misconduct against an Assistant Registrar and sought action against him.

The move has angered 37 faculty members of various departments of the university. The Teacher Association of Central University of Haryana (TACUH) has decried the action stating that it reflects the bias of the university authorities towards teachers who would be discouraged from taking any additional charge.

“Rajeev Kumar Singh has been relieved of duty just to help a student photocopy some application forms for the upcoming conference of his department by using the CPIO office xerox machine. This is not the first time that the university authorities have behaved irresponsibly. Several teachers have earlier been relieved of various charges in a demeaning manner,” alleged Rakesh Meena, secretary of the TACUH.

Sources said the university authorities on Thursday appointed Prof Chanchal Kumar Sharma as CPIO in place of Rajeev Singh with immediate effect.

“I lodged a written complaint against an Assistant Registrar, who not only misbehaved with my student at the CPIO office without any reason but also barged into the office in my absence on February 20,” Rajeev Singh told The Tribune.

He said, “Instead of taking action against the Assistant Registrar, the authorities relieved me of the CPIO charge after two days. The withdrawal of the responsibility is not an issue but the authorities should have taken appropriate action against the Assistant Registrar”.

Meanwhile, 37 faculty members in a letter to the Registrar have said the humiliation of a responsible faculty member of the university has shocked them and instilled sense of insecurity among them.

Meanwhile, Ram Dutt, Registrar of the university, refused to comment on the issue.
