Teachers’ Association of Bharathidasan University (TABU) has appealed to the Chancellor and Governor for ensuring a level-playing field while appointing Vice-Chancellors of 11 Arts and Science State universities. In a memorandum to the Governor, president of TABU M. Selvam said the existing system wherein candidates of any discipline were appointed as VC in 11 out of 21 State universities demoralised eminent persons from arts and science faculty. For the remaining 10 State universities for professional programmes, the essential qualification for the post of Vice-Chancellor had been fixed as specialised degrees with Ph.D. But in arts and science Universities, candidates from any discipline could apply. “This system will indirectly affect the growth of arts and science universities in the long run,” Mr. Selvam said.
