IN response to Governor RN Ravi's demand that the state government rollback the GO issued for constituting a search committee to select Annamalai University vice-chancellor (V-C) on the grounds that the UGC nominee's name was purposefully excluded from the panel, Higher Education Minister Govi Chezhiaan on Thursday said no rule was violated and hence the GO will not be withdrawn.

The minister, in a statement, said the governor can only recommend the government to notify search committees for choosing V-Cs and he doesn't have the authority to form such panels or announce them. He further highlighted that the three-member search committee was formed as per the State Universities Act and it is not mandatory for the state to include a UGC nominee's name in it.
