He expresses dismay at conduct of KU VC, Advocate General
Governor Arif Mohammed Khan has warned of “drastic actions” to address the “rot that has set in the higher education sector” if the government chose to let him resume his duties as the Chancellor of State universities. He was interacting with media persons upon his arrival here from New Delhi on Monday.
While hinting that the controversy edged towards rapprochement, the Governor also sounded a note of caution as he pledged to return as a “different Chancellor” while taking up the reins of the sector again.
Revealing that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had written to him thrice since the row erupted, Mr. Khan said there was no reason for him to spurn the reconciliation bid. “However, they must understand the consequences. I will be on a course-correction mission from Day One. Being the appointing authority, it is also my responsibility to discipline them (universities). It (his actions) might cause a lot of upset,” he said.
