TU Must Fill Vacant Posts Three Months in Advance: Parliamentary Committee

Kathmandu – The National Assembly’s Public Policy and Delegated Legislation Committee has directed Tribhuvan University (TU) to ensure that vacant leadership positions are filled at least three months before the end of a term.

The directive came as part of a study report on the implementation of delegated legislation under the Tribhuvan University Act, 2049 BS.

According to the report, “If the post of Vice-Chancellor or other office bearers becomes vacant, the concerned authority must appoint successors at least three months in advance. This will help the new leadership to perform their duties smoothly.”

The committee also suggested that the government introduce a new law to restructure TU in line with the current constitution.

The report pointed out that office bearers’ pay, benefits, and service conditions should be defined in the rules, not arbitrarily set through internal regulations.

It further criticized the creation of funds such as the Staff Welfare Fund, Medical Fund, and Loan Fund through regulations, saying such provisions should be made only through law to avoid adding unnecessary financial burdens on the university.

The report concluded that TU has exceeded its delegated authority by framing 35 regulations, 16 procedures, 17 directives, and 19 guidelines through its executive council, despite having no legal authority to re-delegate rule-making powers.
