MSU Baroda to Appoint Visiting Faculty to Address Staff Crunch
MSU Baroda is making changes to make sure there are enough teachers.
They couldn't find enough good candidates to fill open teaching positions, even after advertising the jobs.
To solve this, the university is allowing department heads to hire temporary teachers, called visiting lecturers, without needing special permission.
This means they can quickly get people to teach the classes.
The goal is to make sure students have teachers for the upcoming school year.
MSU Baroda approved appointment of visiting faculty due to staff shortages.
Department heads can now appoint visiting lecturers without prior approval.
The university aimed to fill vacant posts through advertisements in April 2025, but found no suitable candidates.
The Executive Council made the decision to address potential teaching staff shortages.
The changes ensure adequate teaching staff for the 2025-26 academic year.
