Says some groups trying to appropriate Tiruvalluvar and Vallalar who spoke about equality
The complete administration of a university, including the appointment of chancellor, should be in the hands of the state government which provides the necessary infrastructure and pays salary to all university employees, Chief Minister MK Stalin said on Tuesday.
"The Tamil Nadu government provides the necessary infrastructure for state universities. Should the chancellor's post be reserved to someone appointed by the union government? That is our question," Stalin said, after inaugurating a library, 'Thirumathi Lakshmi Valartamil Noolagam'. Senior Congress leader and former union minister P Chidambaram established the library at a cost of ₹12 crore at Alagappa University on his mother's name.
