MADURAI: The Madras high court bench has ruled that the University Grants Commission has the right to continuously impose conditions to make Deemed Universities maintain their quality as institutions of higher learning.
Justice K Chandru dismissing petitions filed by 14 deemed to be Universities and Tamil Nadu Deemed Universities Association challenging the UGC (institutions to be deemed Universities) Regulations 2010, said institutions had willingly executed a Memorandum of Association agreeing to abide by the UGC guidelines and could not now go back on it.
The rules aim at improving quality of education by reducing involvement of family members in managing institutions.
The court said the concept of the Trust founder or founder having power to bring his family members does not arise having established a trust or socieity. "Once a trust is established, the role of founder is not of a proprietor but to maintain the objectives and ideals for which the trust is formed. The founder is only a trustee and not proprietor."
