Calicut University senate unlikely to suggest nominee for V-C search panel

The Hindu  

The process to pick a new Vice-Chancellor for the University of Calicut is on, with the Senate scheduled to meet on September 28 to decide on its nominee for the search-and-selection committee. Mr. Khan is reported to have issued a notification to set up the search-and-selection committee for the University of Calicut even before Mr. Jayaraj’s tenure ended. However, the selection process for V-Cs of State universities has been mired in controversies in recent times, with Mr. Khan often taking contrarian positions vis-a-vis the government. Though Mr. Khan constituted the committees for six universities without their Senate nominees, the Kerala High Court stayed his notification with regard to the University of Kerala, Thunchath Ezhuthachan Malayalam University, and the Mahatma Gandhi University. Meanwhile, the State government formed a search panel to select the V-C for the APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University without the Chancellor’s nominee.
