How can the UGC wield power to derecognise non-compliant universities as per the draft anti-discrimination regulations
The Centre has introduced draft regulations granting UGC the authority to derecognise universities not complying with anti-discrimination norms.
- Under the draft anti-discrimination regulations, the UGC can wield power to derecognize non-compliant universities through a structured process.
- The UGC can conduct regular audits and inspections to ensure that universities are adhering to the anti-discrimination norms.
- If a university is found to be non-compliant, the UGC can issue warnings and directives for corrective actions to be taken within a specified timeframe.
- If the university fails to comply even after receiving warnings, the UGC can proceed with derecognition as a last resort.
- Derecognition can entail withdrawing the university's affiliation, accreditation, and funding, effectively shutting it down or severely restricting its operations.
