TN govt appoints V-C search panels for Dr Ambedkar Law University
CHENNAI/THANJAVUR : Three weeks after the landmark verdict of the Supreme Court granting 'deemed assent' to 10 bills that transferred powers to appoint V-Cs in many of the state-run universities from the governor to the government, the Tamil Nadu government has formed search panels for the appointment of V-Cs in Tamil University and The Tamil Nadu Dr Ambedkar Law University. A three-member search panel — comprising Aruna Jagadeesan, retired judge of the Madras High Court, as the government's nominee, S Sachidhanandham, former V-C of the law university and former professor of National Law University (New Delhi), as the syndicate's nominee, and V Vijayakumar, former V-C of the law university, as the senate's nominee — has been constituted for selecting a new V-C for TN Dr Ambedkar Law University. The search panel for Tamil University consists of five members. Justice KBK Vasuki, former Judge of the Madras High Court, and K Deenabandu, former Chief Secretary of TN, will be the government's nominees. M Selvam, retired professor of Bharathidasan University, and M Thangaraju, former V-C of Periyar University, will be the syndicate's nominees, and S Rajendran, professor and head of economics department of the Gandhigram Rural Institute, will be the senate's nominee. Notably, the respective Acts governing these universities did not have a governor-chancellor's nominee in the search panel, unlike many other state universities. While the chancellor's nominees have been removed in some of these through 10 amendment bills cleared by the apex court, a few other universities still have the nominees. It is to be noted that the 10 bills transferred the powers of appointing V-Cs in 18 state universities. Higher education department officials said search panels for all other state universities will be notified soon.

TN notifies VC search panels for 5 varsities
Chennai: Following a Supreme Court order granting it control, the state govt has notified vice-chancellor (VC) search panels for five state universities. While fresh panels were formed for Tamil University and Tamil Nadu Dr Ambedkar Law University, the govt revived the panels formed earlier for Bharathiar University, Bharathidasan University and Periyar University. The panels will have four months to submit three names each to the govt, which will then choose the VCs. These panels were formed based on the university Acts and without nominees from UGC. The insistence on UGC nominees by Governor R N Ravi created a rift with the state govt and delayed appointment of VCs. At present, 11 of 22 state universities do not have VCs.
