ALLEGING illegal appointments and administrative decisions that violate regulations and adversely impact the Karnataka State Open University (KSOU), its staff, and students, teaching and non-teaching staff unions of the varsity staged a protest in front of the registrar's office here on Tuesday.

In a unique form of demonstration, the protesters hung a garland of currency notes at the entrance as a symbolic representation of financial mismanagement. As university registrar Prof Praveen K B arrived at the scene and attempted to provide clarifications, the employees refused to step back, forcing him to retreat to his office without further engagement.
