UGC opens new front in federalism battle

Hindustan Times  

The draft UGC Regulations, 2025 has become a new flashpoint in Centre-state relations. Tamil Nadu took the lead in opposing the regulations, which provide greater powers to the chancellor/visitor of a state university in the appointment of vice-chancellors. Reports suggest that even National Democratic Alliance members such as the Janata Dal have raised apprehensions that UGC’s proposals privilege the Centre in the running of state universities. The UGC draft, effectively, threatens to annul the state law, usurp the powers of appointment from the state executive and invest it in the office of the governor. In states such as Tamil Nadu and Kerala, university appointments have become a bone of contention between the governor and the elected government with the former overruling the latter’s choices for top posts and, in some cases, ordering the removal of persons appointed by the state executive.
