The resignation of P.M. Mubarak Pasha, Vice-Chancellor of Sreenarayanaguru Open University, has been accepted and his responsibilities will be handed over to V.P. Jagathy Raj, School of Management Studies, as per the directions of the Chancellor.
Dr. Pasha said he had submitted his resignation on February 22, but it was rejected and he was asked to continue until the case against the V-Cs was disposed of. Dr. Pasha had approached the Kerala High Court demanding a replacement following which his resignation was accepted.
He is stepping down after successfully completing the initial phase undertakings of the university. “At present the university offers 28 University Grants Commission (UGC)-approved programmes (UG and PG) and we have over 22,000 students and 29 learner support centres across the State for academic counselling,” said Dr. Pasha at a press meet here on Tuesday.
