OUTA Condemns Lease of University Property to Private Trust
The Osmania University Teachers' Association (OUTA) is upset about the university leasing out professor housing and land to a private trust.
They say this goes against a previous report that said university land shouldn't be given to private groups.
The trust is paying very little for the use of the property, while faculty members have to pay much more for their housing.
OUTA believes the university is not using its resources wisely.
They argue that if the university offered housing at a lower cost, more staff would benefit.
They are worried that the university is not considering the needs of its faculty and staff.
OUTA condemns the leasing of professor quarters and university land to Adi Dhwani Trust.
The move reportedly violates the Justice Chinnappa Reddy Committee report.
The lease for each professor quarter is at 12,000 per annum.
The trust seeks more quarters under a 30-year lease.
Faculty pay full HRA, around 40,000 per month.
