Save University Campaign Committee, a whistle blower organisation fighting to keep higher education clean, has raised strong objections against changing the admission criteria for MA English in Kannur University allegedly for a Students Federation of India Kasaragod District Committee Member to enable him to get admission for the course in Government College Kasaragod.
The committee has submitted a petition to the vice chairman of the State Council of Higher Education saying the decision reportedly taken unilaterally by the Kannur University Vice Chancellor Gopinath Ravindran without consulting other affiliating universities in the State is irregular and the Vice Chancellor should be instructed to reconsider.
According to the committee chairman R.S. Sasikumar, such a decision was taken by the Vice Chancellor to bypass the academic council to allow Emmanuel, an SFI student leader of Kasaragod Government College, to pursue his studies in the same college.
