\nNUTA sources alleged that the suspension order issued Monday did not give any concrete reasons for the suspension, apart from citing some statutes of Nagaland University Acts and central government rules.
\nRosemary is a lecturer in English Department while Venuh is a Reader in History Department.
\nNUTA sources also said CEC NUTA has convened an emergency meeting of NUTA members of all three NU campuses Tuesday at Kohima to discuss the suspension order and the mass resignation tendered by thirty five NUTA members.
\nThe meeting is likely to demand immediate revocation of the suspension order without any precondition as well as to chalk out NUTA\u2019s future course of action, sources added.
\nMeanwhile, reacting to the vice chancellor\u2019s statement on mass resignation of all HoDs and members of academic and executive councils on August 11 last, NUTA alleged that the vice chancellor had \u201cintentionally created a misconception\u201d on the issue.
\nCEC NUTA president Rosemary Dz\u00fcvich\u00fc and secretary general N Venuh in a press release questioned Kannan\u2019s appeal to resume work when all academic departments and programmes were running smoothly.
\nArguing that the statute of Nagaland University Act permitted any Head of Department to step down from the post and relinquish his responsibilities, NUTA also said copies of the resignations had also been submitted to the President of India, who is the Visitor, which is the highest authority of the Nagaland University.
\nReiterating the corruption charges against the vice chancellor, NUTA said Kannan was \u201cstill under scanner with the visitor yet to take action.\u201d
