The administration of universities should be under the full control of state governments, which provide necessary infrastructure, and also the power to appoint its chancellors should vest with chief ministers, Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin said on Tuesday.

KARAIKUDI:

In a veiled attack on the Centre and governor, who is the chancellor of state-run universities, Stalin said the legal battle to restore the state's education rights would continue.

Tamil Nadu accounts for 20 universities spread across the state and the posts of vice-chancellors in some universities are lying vacant. The ruling DMK dispensation has been involved in a tussle with the Governor over the appointment of VCs.
