The appointment of Principal at S.N. Arts and Science College has kicked up a row with the Kerala Private College Teachers’ Association raising allegations against the college management, the Left-affiliated All Kerala Private College Teachers’ Association and the Kannur University.
A recent WhatsApp post by a teachers’ union leader in ‘SN College AKPCTA’, the official social media group of the Left wing, citing their intervention to press the university to approve the appointment, has further fuelled the row.
The KPCTA has alleged that the college management, in total violation of University Grants Commission norms, appointed a professor who was fifth in the seniority list to the Principal’s post.
