The Save University Campaign Committee (SUCC) has alleged irregularity behind the appointment of former Vice-Chancellor of Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit Dharmaraj Adat as the ombudsman of APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU).
The organisation has accused the university of violating norms by appointing Dr. Adat without the approval of the Governor and by purportedly overlooking a panel prepared by a search committee chaired by the Principal Secretary of the Higher Education department.
KTU, however, dismissed the allegation and maintained that it adhered to the regulations laid down by the University Grants Commission (UGC).
