Crucial decisions pending at the varsity owing to absence of a regular Vice Chancellor, says letter
As many as 18 members of the academic council at the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, Kalady, have requested Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, who is also the Chancellor, to expedite the appointment of a regular Vice Chancellor.
In a letter to the Governor, the teachers pointed out that the university had been facing various issues owing to the absence of a regular Vice Chancellor. Since the retirement of P.K. Dharmarajan on November 29, 2021, Calicut University Vice Chancellor M.K. Jayaraj has been holding additional charge of Sanskrit varsity Vice Chancellor.
The council members said crucial decisions at the academic and administrative levels could not be taken in the absence of a regular Vice Chancellor. The entire academic, financial and administrative functions of the varsity will come to a standstill, if the annual budget is not passed as per rules, they added.
