Meanwhile, the Panjab University Teachers Association (PUTA) has written to the Vice-Chancellor for appointing hostel wardens by inviting applications, on the basis of seniority to avoid arbitrariness. “As per information available to PUTA, the applications from eligible teachers have not yet been invited as per the past practice. A large number of teachers are aspiring to apply for the posts of wardens. It will be in the best interest of the university and teachers that all new vacancies are filled in by inviting applications from eligible teachers and then appointing them on the basis of seniority,” stated the letter.
