Lending a new dimension to the raging debate on the role of the Chancellor, the Commission for Reforms in Higher Education has recommended separate Chancellors for each university.
Mooting fundamental changes in university governance, the commission, chaired by former Vice Chancellor of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University Delhi Shyam B. Menon, has also advocated trimming the Syndicates in terms of composition and responsibilities. Replacing the existing Senates with a sleeker ‘Board of Regents’ that elects the Chancellor from among themselves also figured among the proposals.
