Syndicate member urges Registrar to seek professor’s response

A member of Mangalore University Syndicate on Wednesday urged the University Registrar to issue a show-cause notice to Professor M. Jayashankar who had given ₹17 lakh to get the post of the vice-chancellor of a university and get his response within 24 hours. K. Ramesh in his letter to the Registrar said that newspapers on Tuesday carried reports that Mr. Jayashankar had paid ₹17 lakh as part payment to Prasad Attavar for getting the post of vice-chancellor and filed a police complaint upon getting defrauded. The Syndicate member wanted to know from the Registrar as to whether the professor had obtained prior permission from the Syndicate to lodge a police complaint as the Syndicate was his appointing authority. A special meeting of the Syndicate would be called on April 5 and all issues, including the professor’s response and legal opinion, would be placed before it to take a suitable decision, Prof. Yadapadithaya said.
