Former professors have welcomed the decision of University of Madras Vice-Chancellor S. Gowri to disallow two college principals from contesting for Syndicate elections due next week.
The university recently notified election for four vacancies from among self-financing colleges. Eight persons from the Academic Council sought to contest.
The Vice-Chancellor called for salary details as a condition to allow them to contest. Two candidates could not produce them and Mr. Gowri rejected their applications.
