The New Indian Express Chennai|September 28, 2020
Anna University faculty have announced a human-chain protest on Monday opposing the university’s name change associated with its bifurcation. The educationalists say that a simpler alternative would be to let the parent institution retain its name and bestow a similar name to a daughter institution.

Anna University Faculty's Human Chain Stir Against Name Change Today

“Out of the 26,000 papers published with impact factor, 20,000 were published by the four campuses in Chennai. However, the credit will now go to the affiliated colleges and we have to start from scratch,” Anna University Teachers Association (AUTA) president Arual Aram told Express.

During the State Assembly’s recent monsoon session, Higher Education minister KP Anbalagan had tabled a Bill proposing the bifurcation of Anna University. The Bill splits the institution into a unitary type Anna Technological and Research University in Chennai and an affiliating type named the Anna University. The Bill, which was passed last Thursday, has not gone down well with the staff at Anna University.
