The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) has reversed its decision to terminate 115 staff members following an assurance of financial support from the Tata Education Trust (TET). The TET has committed to providing the necessary resources to address the financial challenges faced by TISS, leading to the retraction of termination notices issued to 55 teaching and 60 non-teaching staff members.
The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) has terminated approximately 100 teaching and non-teaching staff members citing a funding crunch from the Tata Trust. The move has sparked outrage within the TISS community and raised concerns about the impact on the institute’s academic and administrative functions. The Progressive Students Forum (PSF) has condemned the decision, highlighting the potential shortage of staff and the government’s perceived anti-education stance.
