Governor lashes out at higher education policy
The Hindu
Khan says universities are packed with political nominees and non-academics
In a sign of growing discontent towards the government’s policies in the higher education sector, Governor Arif Mohammed Khan has formally conveyed his annoyance on various issues, including the appointment of vice chancellors of Kannur University and Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit.
In a rather caustic letter shot off to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on December 8, which has been accessed by The Hindu, Mr. Khan, who is also the Chancellor of State universities, took a sarcastic swipe as he “advised” him to assume the position of the Chancellor by amending university Acts to “carry out your political objectives without any dependence on the Governor.”
