Noida, April 13 (HS): Gautam Buddha University Registrar Vishwas Tripathi has been dismissed for not meeting the minimum academic and administrative qualifications.
Acting Registrar Prof Chandra Kumar Singh stated that Vishwas Tripathi had submitted an application despite not possessing the minimum qualifications required for the position.
During the investigation, the Document Verification Committee found that he had presented misleading and incomplete information regarding his experience. After examining the documents and hearing Vishwas Tripathi personally, the University’s Board of Management determined that his appointment was illegal.
Based on the facts, the decision was taken to terminate his service with immediate effect.
Meanwhile, Dr Vishwas Tripathi maintains that he possesses the full qualifications for the position. He alleges that malicious action has been taken due to the contempt petition he filed against the Vice-Chancellor in the High Court. He will file an objection in the High Court. A case of financial misappropriation has also been filed against them maliciously.
Following allegations of a fee scam at Gautam Buddha University (GBU), new facts are constantly emerging. The university’s Proctor’s Board also received numerous complaints regarding fees. Students complained that after collecting fees in cash, they were given fake receipts bearing the university’s seal. Some outsiders and senior students would take cash from juniors under the pretense of fee reductions. The money was subsequently not deposited into the university’s accounts. Students discovered the fraud when they were prevented from taking exams due to unpaid fees.
The Proctor’s Board received complaints and uncovered the matter. Some students were suspended, while outsiders were jailed. One student reported being duped and forced to repay the fees. A female student reported depositing โน16,000, but was told the fees had not been paid and she could not appear for the exam. He stated that 200 to 400 students from each department were defrauded.
The Proctor Board’s primary role at the university is to maintain discipline in academic institutions, ensure compliance with regulations, and monitor student conduct. It also recommends disciplinary action against offenders and investigates student complaints.
