Rosalind George, the Vice-Chancellor in-charge of the Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies (Kufos), will retire on Tuesday even as the State government has not responded to the university’s plea to allow her to be in office till the month-end.
Ms. George was appointed as the Vice-Chancellor in-charge seven months ago, following the removal of her husband K. Riji John from the post of Vice Chancellor by a Division Bench of the Kerala High Court. An appeal by Mr. John against the High Court decision is pending before the Supreme Court.
Incidentally, the university had earlier sought the views of the State government on allowing its officials to continue in office till the end of the month in which they superannuate against stepping down on the previous day of their 60th birthday.
