The University of Kerala appears to be on a collision course with Raj Bhavan as it has refused to honour the Governor’s ultimatum to convene the Senate to choose its nominee for the Vice Chancellor selection panel by Monday.
Refusing to budge from its position, the university has written to Governor Arif Mohammed Khan reiterating its objection to the latter’s “legally untenable” decision to form a search-cum-selection committee in his capacity as the Chancellor without including the Senate’s nominee.
The Senate had a month ago passed a resolution demanding the withdrawal of Raj Bhavan’s move to constitute the selection committee.
