The Nagaland University Students\u2019 Union, Lumami (NUSU-L) has expressed strong opposition to the recent decision by the department of Higher Education, to regularize contractual assistant professors without competitive exams through the Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a press release, NUSU-L president Imtiwapong S and general secretary Nzanthung A Murry stated that the move was carried out despite ongoing legal proceedings and public opposition, and described it as a direct violation of transparency, meritocracy, and equal opportunity in the state\u2019s education system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The student body highlighted that the decision undermines the efforts of NET and Ph.D. holders, who have met national academic benchmarks but are now systemically excluded due to the non-merit-based appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NUSU-L criticized the government for setting a dangerous precedent, stating that such actions are regressive at a time when the state\u2019s higher education system should be moving toward greater transparency and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The union affirmed its solidarity with the Nagaland NET Qualified Forum (NNQF), Dimapur Naga Students\u2019 Union (DNSU), and other student and civil society organizations opposing the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe reaffirm our commitment to defending the rights of students and ensuring that education in Nagaland remains a space where merit, not influence, determines opportunity,\u201d said NUSU-L. The union also vowed to continue advocating for policies that uphold the credibility of educational institutions and the future of the youth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
