Varsity gives nod for appointment of K.K. Ragesh’s wife
The HinduThe Syndicate of the Kannur University approved the appointment of Priya Varghese as the Associate Professor in the Malayalam department of the university. The Save University Campaign Committee opposed the decision, alleging that Ms. Varghese did not have the minimum eligibility for the post, which requires a research degree with eight years of experience at the assistant professor level. The Congress party cited how an experienced candidate like Joseph Skaria, with a research score of nearly 650, got 30 marks, while Ms. Varghese, with a score of close to 150, got 32 marks in the interview, to prove ‘nepotism’ in the university. The decision appointing Ms. Varghese has come after Mr. Ravindran has been reappointed as the Vice Chancellor with the consent of the Governor. KSU plans legal route Meanwhile, Kerala Students Union district president P. Mohammad Shammas said that they would challenge the appointment of Ms. Varghese in the court.
