Officials remain clueless over VC appointments

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: Even after 20 months, the government remains indecisive and silent on the appointment of Vice-Chancellors to 11 state universities. It is over a week now since the Council elections were completed, but silence continues with two officials in the higher education department responding in non-committal tones on Monday. Varsities are being run, more so neglected by the people who have been appointed to channelise higher education", said Dr Balakrishna Reddy, founder-president of Telangana Technical Institutions Employees Association. Meanwhile, Dr Santhosh Kumar, state president, Telangana Schools Technical Colleges Employees Association, said that IAS officers continue to govern the state universities as vice-chancellors. "The Special Chief Secretary Chitra Ramchandran has called a meeting to discuss issues of implementation of rule of reservation and combined recruitment for filling up teaching staff in the universities, but how will this help when there are no regular VCs," Kumar wondered.
