Hindu College Governing Body Issues Notices to Two Professors Over Admission Dispute
The Governing Body of Hindu College issued show-cause notices to two associate professors, Ratan Lal and P K Vijayan, for alleged gross misconduct, indiscipline, and insubordination related to their public criticism of the college Principal and the admission process. The notices, dated September 8, followed claims by Lal of irregularities and procedural violations in admissions under the Sports and Extra-Curricular Activities quota. The Governing Body stated the admissions were based on university-issued lists and attributed errors to a university algorithm glitch, warning of disciplinary action if explanations are unsatisfactory.
