Former Anna University Vice-Chancellor E. Balagurusamy has expressed apprehension that the series of Bills introduced in the Assembly to empower the Tamil Nadu government (instead of the Governor-Chancellor) to appoint Vice-Chancellors to the State universities will destroy the autonomy and integrity of the university system.
It would also “bring back the popular system of corruption and nepotism and would be detrimental to the quality of higher education in the State, which is already in a bad state”, he said.
