Objects to constitution of selection committees without a nominee of commission chief
-
THE University Grants Commission (UGC) has written to the Tamil Nadu chief secretary, objecting to the constitution of search-cum-selection committees for the appointment of vice-chancellors of state universities without a nominee of the commission chairman, official sources said.
The UGC has warned that appointing a vice-chancellor in violation of the higher education regulator's norms shall be "null and void" and can lead to legal complications.
The UGC letter was in reference to a September 13 gazette notification by the Tamil Nadu government to constitute a search committee to recommend a panel of three persons for the selection of vice-chancellor for the University of Madras, one of the oldest in the country.
