Three colleges under Madras varsity to be disaffiliated

Updated on: Monday, January 30, 2012

Three arts and science colleges affiliated to Madras University, have been recommended for disaffiliation by the varsity syndicate for not having enough teachers and poor infrastructure.

G Thiruvasagam, Vice-chancellor of Madras University said the syndicate has recommended the disaffiliation of A A Arts & Science College, Koyambedu; J A Arts and Science College, Mogappair East, and Poonga College of Arts and Science, Uthandi.

After the parents and students of these colleges had been complaining about the lack of infrastructure necessary in the college and not enough faculty members to teach students across various disciplines over the last few years, the syndicate decided to recommend the disaffiliation of these colleges during the last academic year.

A three-member team investigated the authenticity of the complaints and confirmed reports that the colleges had been functioning in this manner for nearly 10 years. Students of the colleges have been admitted to other colleges, told the vice-chancellor.
