Selection Committee to interview 10 shortlisted candidates for TISS Vice-Chancellor post
The HinduAfter a delay of more than a year, a permanent Vice-Chancellor is set to be appointed in Mumbai-based Tata Institute of Social Sciences with the selection committee slated to conduct in-person interviews with 10 shortlisted candidates on Sunday, in a confidential process. Official sources said that the potential candidates who are vying for the VC post have been shortlisted from the Schools of Health Systems, Development Studies, Management and Labour Studies, Law and Governance and Habitat Studies. “Because the acting VC holds a full-time position in IIM Mumbai, the institute is majorly headed by Pro VC Shankar Das,” a senior professor from TISS said, citing anonymity. Earlier in June, TISS had issued termination notices to nearly 100 staff members including teaching staff, citing lack of fund sanctions, before Tata Trusts ensured that provisions were being made to extend their contracts.
