Mamata Banerjee battles with Governor: This time over university appointments

Firstpost  

The West Bengal governor CV Ananda Bose, in his capacity as the chancellor of state-run universities, had on Sunday night appointed interim vice-chancellors for seven varsities. The appointment of West Bengal governor Dr CV Ananda Bose as interim vice-chancellor for state universities with vacant positions has also sparked tensions with the state government. A day after West Bengal governor CV Ananda Bose appointed interim vice-chancellors of seven state universities, Education Minister Bratya Basu, in a strong reaction on Monday, accused the Raj Bhavan of acting in a “dictatorial manner” and claimed that the move could “destroy” the university system. ‘Adventurous and illegal’ A group of educationists, including former vice-chancellors of state universities, described the action by the Governor to appoint interim VCs in several varsities as “adventurous and illegal”.
