The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) has withdrawn notices of non-renewal for 55 teaching and 60 non-teaching staff following assurances from the Tata Education Trust (TET). Initially slated to end on June 30, contracts for these staff members were extended after discussions secured funding commitments from TET. The move, criticized by students and faculty, highlighted concerns over grant renewals and administrative foresight. TISS acknowledged the oversight and assured salaries pending the release of TET support grants. The incident underscored broader critiques of institutional management and government policies, adding to recent educational controversies.
