Government yet to nominate member for Bharathidasan University VC search panel

The director of technical education (DoTE) was appointed as the member of VC convener committee.Following the end of tenure of vice chancellor V M Muthu Kumar in May this year, a special syndicate meeting of Bharathidasan University (BDU) was called on June 8. It was decided that a two-member convener committee headed by the higher education secretary will manage the university affairs until a new vice-chancellor is selected. "We do not have any other option but to seek the court's intervention if government nominee is appointed in the meeting without listening to our grievances," said S Dhandapani, BDU syndicate member who boycotted the election.Registrar in-charge of BDU R Babu Rajendran said that the process is on to nominate a government nominee for the VC search committee. "While the government is going through a tough phase dealing with sacked deputy general secretary TTV Dinakaran, the higher education minister seems to have no time to look into the matters of the university," said a source from the BDU administration.
