India. AUT stages demonstration
Around 250 members of the Association of University Teachers (AUT), Tamil Nadu, held a demonstration on Saturday. Among the issues highlighted, the teachers said managements of institutions across the State had been indulging in violations with regard to the direct pay system implemented as a part of the Private College Regulation Act 1976.
“Aided colleges, which need to be nurtured and promoted to provide quality and subsidised education, have several issues.

Shettu, general secretary of the AUT.
