Union slams T.N. govt. decision to move Supreme Court on career advancement scheme for guest lecturers
The Association of University Teachers (AUT) has expressed concern over the actions by the Directorate of Collegiate Education on the implementation of the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) for faculty of aided colleges. In an official release, AUT general secretary K. Raja said: 'On one hand, the Commissioner of Collegiate Education issued a letter on June 9, instructing all Regional Joint Directors to urgently submit updated CAS-related data of eligible teachers by June 10. This communication clearly signalled the Government's affirmative intention to proceed with the long-overdue CAS promotions with monetary benefits, offering hope and justice to thousands of eligible teachers in aided colleges. 'Surprisingly, in a completely contradictory move, a communication dated June 16 addressed to A. Muraliraj, assistant professor of Mathematics, Urumu Dhanalakshmi College, Tiruchi, reveals that the government has chosen to challenge a favourable High Court judgment in the Supreme Court by filing a Special Leave Petition (SLP) with a motive to deny CAS monetary benefits due to the teachers. This action directly undermines the rightful claims of teachers, seeking career progression and represents a serious breach of trust.' The association demanded immediate withdrawal of the SLP and urged the authorities to honour the High Court verdict. 'The Career Advancement Scheme is a statutory right, not a privilege. Any attempt to delay or deny this right adversely affects the morale, dignity, and academic integrity of the teaching community,' the release said.

Are China's universities really the best in the world?
A decade ago Nature, a scientific publisher, began tallying the contributions made by researchers at different institutions to papers published across a set of 145 respected journals. When the first such Nature Index was published in 2016, the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) ranked first, but American and European institutions dominated the top ten. Harvard placed second, with Stanford and MIT fifth and sixth; the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the German Max Planck Society were third and fourth; Oxford and Cambridge took ninth and tenth (seventh and eighth place went, respectively, to the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres and the University of Tokyo).

MUFA members stage sit-in protest at MKU demanding promotions
Members of Madurai Kamaraj University Faculty Association (MUFA) staged a sit-in protest on the premises of Madurai Kamaraj University here on Wednesday urging the State government to immediately process promotions for eligible lecturers in the university. C. Muniyandi, general secretary, MUFA, who headed the protest, said about 100 lecturers, 85 assistant professors and 15 associate professors were yet to receive their promotion orders despite their eligibility and participation in the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) process held in February and March 2024. Not only the delay in approving the promotions for a large number of faculties in the university was against their rights, it would also eventually affect the education of the students as the teachers would get dejected, he added. When the promotions were issued on time on the date of the order, the associate professors would have been promoted to professors by this time and they could have been eligible to receive several funds for their respective departments, he noted. Due to the delay, two associate professors retired before getting their due promotion, he alleged. 'When we took the issue to the Department of Higher Education, we were informed that due to audit objections pending in the university, the promotion orders could not be issued to the eligible lecturers,' he added. Questioning the rationale behind stopping promotions for the audit objections, Mr. Muniyandi said audit objections were matters of revenue and expenditure of the institution. He asked whether admissions of students be stopped in the current academic year owing to the audit objections. Also, when the promotions were not given on time, the ceiling for the lecturers for the intake of research scholars would be affected, he noted. Following the protest, Mr. Muniyandi said, their promotion orders were signed by one of the convenor committee members and were forwarded to the Department of Collegiate Education for further approval. As they welcomed the move, MUFA members wanted the process to be expedited to curb any further delay in enjoying their rights.

I-League: Inter Kashi win appeal in CAS, await verdict in second case
After the latest ruling from CAS, Inter Kashi moved to second place with 38 points, below Churchill Brothers, who have 42 points PANAJI: The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has overturned the decision of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) appeals committee which had deducted three points from Inter Kashi for their clash against Namdhari FC in the I-League. In an arbitral award delivered by the Switzerland-based CAS, Frans de Weger, president of the three-member panel, said 'the decision issued on April 18, 2025, by the appeals committee of the AIFF is set aside and the terms of the decision issued on February 24, 2025, by the AIFF disciplinary committee in the matter IL 2024-25/102 is confirmed.' Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! According to the order, Namdhari have been adjudged to have fielded an ineligible player (Cledson da Silva), who had not served a one-match suspension, in accordance with Article 12.3.2 of the I-League regulations for accumulation of four cautions. The match, which Namdhari had won at home, results in a forfeiture (0-3 loss), improving Inter Kashi's chances of becoming champions, ahead of Churchill Brothers FC. The AIFF said in a statement on Tuesday it will 'follow the CAS orders and implement its decision.' After CAS's latest ruling, Inter Kashi moved to second place with 38 points, below Churchill, who have 42 points. The I-League title now hinges on the verdict in the second case pending before CAS, an independent arbitration body that resolves sports disputes from across the world. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트, 지금 시작하세요 [자세히 보기] 임플란트 더 알아보기 Undo If Inter Kashi wins their second appeal, four more points can be added to their tally, while Churchill can lose two. The second case pertains to the registration of Mario Barco where Inter Kashi were docked four points. The appeals committee had heard an appeal from Churchill, Namdhari and Real Kashmir, and ruled that the re-registration of Barco by Inter Kashi made him an ineligible player. 'The rules do not provide for re-registration for anyone who has been ousted from the season due to a season ending injury/illness,' the appeals panel said in its order. Records suggest that Barco was part of Inter Kashi's initial squad – which included six foreigners -- for the I-League but was later replaced by Matija Babovic due to what was seen as a season-ending injury. The Spanish striker, however, continued to remain contracted with the club and made a return to the team in February since Julen Perez's contract termination during the January transfer window left a vacant foreign spot. Inter Kashi have challenged the order, arguing that the green signal to register the player came from the League Committee. The club said, 'according to article 13.1.5, AIFF League Committee shall provide due and necessary clarifications or explanations in the event of any doubt regarding the interpretation of these regulations or any other related matters and its decision shall be final and binding.' In a brief statement, Inter Kashi said they welcome Tuesday's CAS verdict and 'extend our sincere gratitude to our fans and well-wishers for their continued and unwavering support throughout this process.' According to sources, it was decided between all parties that the second case would be pursued only if Inter Kashi win the first one against Namdhari and AIFF. 'For Inter Kashi to become champions, they need to win both the cases in CAS,' a senior official told TOI. 'Now that the verdict is out in the first case, Inter Kashi will approach CAS for a quick decision in the second case regarding the eligibility of Mario Barco. Timelines are yet to be set but a final decision is expected latest by July 15.'

Inter Kashi Win CAS Appeal, But Not Crowned I-League Champions Yet; Second Ruling Remains
Last Updated: Inter Kashi won their first appeal at CAS against AIFF over a three-point deduction but haven't secured the I-League title. Another appeal could determine the 2024-25 champions. Inter Kashi secured their first victory at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Tuesday. This followed the Varanasi-based team's three-point deduction for a disputed I-League match earlier in the year. However, the CAS ruling does not yet award Inter Kashi the I-League title. On April 18, the AIFF's appeals committee ruled against Inter Kashi in a case concerning their match against Namdhari FC on January 13, where Namdhari FC was accused of fielding an 'ineligible player.' This overturned the decision made by the national federation's disciplinary committee. As a result of the appeals committee's decision, Inter Kashi finished second in the I-League with 39 points, while Churchill Brothers of Goa were declared champions with 40 points. Inter Kashi appealed the AIFF appeals committee's decision to the CAS on April 24, and the world's highest sports tribunal ruled in favour of the club on Tuesday. Inter Kashi has another appeal pending at the CAS, which could determine the 2024-25 I-League champions. Despite this, the AIFF awarded the trophy to Churchill Brothers based on the appeals committee's decision. As per the first ruling, the CAS directed the AIFF to pay two thousand Swiss francs (Rs 2.12 lakh approx) to Inter Kashi, while Churchill Brothers and Namdhari FC must each pay one thousand Swiss francs (Rs 1.06 lakh) to the Varanasi-based club as a contribution towards its legal costs and other expenses incurred during the arbitration proceedings. Following Inter Kashi's first appeal to the CAS, the AIFF appeals committee ruled in favour of Churchill Brothers and Real Kashmir in two other cases involving their respective matches against Inter Kashi concerning the re-registration of player Mario Barco by the Varanasi-based club. Inter Kashi lost an additional four points, ending the league in sixth place with 35 points, while Churchill and Real Kashmir each gained two points. Inter Kashi then filed their second appeal to the CAS, which has yet to make a decision. After the latest CAS ruling, Inter Kashi would be in second place with 38 points, trailing Churchill (42 points). If Inter Kashi wins their second appeal, they may accumulate 42 points, while Churchill could lose two points. (with inputs from agencies) First Published: June 17, 2025, 20:48 IST
