KPCTA to launch stir against FYUGP ‘lapses' in Calicut varsity
According to the Senate and Syndicate members of the KPCTA, the university recently revised a clause related to selection of minor (subsidiary) courses in the regulations for the FYUGP. They claimed on Wednesday that this would deprive students an option to decide the minor course of their choice. They said that the students pursuing undergraduate courses in 33 subjects, including commerce and Afzal-ul-Ulama, would be forced to pick minor courses that they may not like to study.
The Senate and Syndicate members alleged that though the original clause in the regulations was more student-friendly, it was changed on the direction of the State Higher Education Council. Syndicate members T.J. Martin and P. Madhu and Senate members V.M. Chacko, Manoj Mathews, P. Sulfi, E. Sreelatha, R. Jayakumar, and G. Sunil Kumar sent letters to Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, also the Chancellor of the university, expressing their concerns.
The KPCTA regional committee will organise a protest outside the academic block of the university on July 3.

Donald Trump signs his tax and spending cut bill at the White House July 4 picnic
President Donald Trump signed his package of tax breaks and spending cuts into law Friday in front of Fourth of July picnickers after his cajoling produced almost unanimous Republican support in Congress for the domestic priority that could cement his second-term legacy. Flanked by Republican legislators and members of his Cabinet, Trump signed the multitrillion-dollar legislation at a desk on the White House driveway, then banged down a gavel gifted to him by House Speaker Mike Johnson that was used during the bill's final passage Thursday. Against odds that at times seemed improbable, Trump achieved his goal of celebrating a historic — and divisive — legislative victory in time for the nation's birthday, which also was his self-imposed deadline for Congress to send the legislation to his desk. Fighter jets and stealth bombers streaked through the sky over the annual White House Fourth of July picnic. 'America's winning, winning, winning like never before,' Trump said, noting last month's bombing campaign against Iran's nuclear program, which he said the flyover was meant to honor. 'Promises made, promises kept, and we've kept them.' The White House was hung with red, white and blue bunting for the Independence Day festivities. The U.S. Marine Band played patriotic marches — and, in a typical Trumpian touch, tunes by 1980s pop icons Chaka Khan and Huey Lewis. There were three separate flyovers. Trump spoke for a relatively brief 22 minutes before signing the bill, but was clearly energized as the legislation's passage topped a recent winning streak for his administration. That included the Iran campaign and a series of U.S. Supreme Court rulingshe's fought for. The budget legislation is the president's highest-profile win yet. It includes key campaign pledges like no tax on tips or Social Security income. Trump, who spent an unusual amount of time thanking individual Republican lawmakers who shepherded the measure through Congress, contended 'our country is going to be a rocket ship, economically,' because of the legislation.
