Talking to mediapersons on Tuesday, he said the federation of Chennai minority college teachers and managements had been insisting that the Madras university regulate the appointment of teachers in the minority colleges, but no decision was taken.

He said an undertaking to abide  by the court verdict by all the management appointed teachers had been submitted to the university through the directorate of collegiate  on May 19.

Rev Peter said that the vice chancellor assured that if the direction was given by the UGC, he would immediately grant the qualification approval of the teachers.
Mr Alexander, principal, Madras Christian College, said that the managements of minority institutions were bearing the expenses of  salaries, which was increasing the financial burden.
