Sheena Shukkur under fire again

Thiruvananthapuram: More trouble is in store for MG University Pro-Vice-Chancellor Sheena Shukkur who attended the meeting of an orga-nisation affiliated to the Indian Union Muslim League  in Dubai recently.

The pro-CPM All- Kerala Private College Teachers’ Association has petitioned  Governor P. Sathasivam,  who is also the chancellor of the university, saying that she had violated the  service rule which prohibits  salaried government employees from political activities.

The AKPCTA pointed out that the PVC  had violated the code of ethics listed in the UGC regulation 2010 and  lowered the prestige of her office.

The PVC  is a whole-time salaried officer of the university and her action amounted to dereliction of duty as she did not attend the important statutory meetings of the syndicate and academic council.

The petition also alleged that her action violated the provisions of the code of professional ethics of the UGC regulation 2010. 

It  restrains  teachers from activities which tend to promote  feelings of hatred and enmity among different communities, religions or linguistic groups  and  hinder national integration.  

While inaugurating a family meet organised by Cheruvathoor Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre affiliated to the Muslim League in Dubai recently,   Ms Shukkur had claimed  that she and her spouse got a government bungalow and car for standing under the green flag of IUMl. Earlier, there was also allegation that the PVC had  violated the norms regarding foreign trips while  attending  the  Dubai meeting.
