A Journal of the Confederation of Indian Universities (CIU)   

 

There shall be two categories of membership of the Confederation :

a) Member Universities, and

b) Member Organisations.

Those degree-conferring institutions whose main object is education and the development of knowledge, whether or not they carry the name of university, may be admitted as Member Universities.

These institutions must be dedicated to the study of several branches of knowledge and must be at the level of higher education, as shown by the quality of their instruction and the preparatory training demanded of their students, as well as by the active participation of their staffs in scientific or scholarly research and the type of working equipment placed at their disposal.

Exceptionally, however, the Board of Management, may admit institutions of high standing which are concerned with a specialised field of knowledge.

Any Association Federation of Universities may be admitted as a Member Organisation.

Membership of the Confederation shall be granted or withdrawn by the Board of Management on the advice of the Secretary General and after consultation with the President.

The decision of the Board of the Management shall be subject to appeal to the General Conference.

The rights accorded to the Members of the Confederation by this Constitution may be suspended or Membership may be terminated by the decision of the Board of Management in the case of those members who have not fulfilled their obligations.

Each Member of the Confederation shall pay an annual subscription, the amount of which shall be determined by the Board of Management. The Board of Management is authorised to make exceptional arrangements in special cases. However there will be no membership fee for the first five years from the date of registration of CIU.

Every Member shall appoint a correspondent and one alternate to be responsible for relations with the Confederation. All communications may be validly addressed to this correspondent.

Members may resign from the Confederation after giving six months notice of intention to do so to the Secretary General; the subscription for the year already started shall remain payable.

Organisations, institutions, networks and individuals who are regular partners of the Confederation in working in the field of higher education and university cooperation can be granted affiliate status with CIU by the decision of the Board of Management.
