AIIMS faculties urge to honour seniority in dean appointment

The faculty members of AIIMS Delhi have written a letter to the Director Dr M Srinivas and requested that the norms and rules must be adhered to while taking decisions in the appointment of the dean (Academic) and other senior positions at the institute. Also, seniority must be honoured in any such decisions.

Reportedly, the members have apprehensions that the seniority and hierarchy may be overlooked in the appointment of the dean after the superannuation of the current dean on January 31.

“AIIMS has always contributed to the best of medical education, patient care, and research and remained at the forefront in serving humanity. The faculty members of this institute deserve the utmost dignity and respect. We believe that seniority in respect to the seniormost positions like Dean should be maintained and should not be overlooked,” said the letter by the Faculty Association of AIIMS Delhi (FAIMS), as reported by Indian Express.

“We believe and also request you to consider seniority and hierarchy while making appointments to the senior positions like dean at AIIMS,” added the letter.

“The unbiased decisions of the administration will further motivate faculty members who are already serving to give their best. FAIMS believes and is confident that prevailing rules, processes, and norms envisaged in the Constitution of the Institute will be followed in appointing a person for such a position,” the letter further added.
