Madras High Court Seeks Report on Vacant Vice-Chancellor Posts in Tamil Nadu Universities
The Madras High Court has sought a report from Tamil Nadu's Higher Education Department on why 14 state universities have been without Vice-Chancellors for several years. The issue arose during a petition challenging the qualifications of a temporary Registrar at Madurai Kamaraj University. The court noted that these universities are currently managed by Registrars (in-charge) and Convenor Committees. The state government has been asked to explain the vacancies and steps to fill them, with further hearings scheduled.
