DVAC sleuths question six aspirants rejected by BU

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Coimbatore: While the suspended vice-chancellor of Bharathiar University, Dr A Ganapathi, is languishing in jail, many alleged victims of his maladministration are rallying against him outside, deposing against him before the investigation agency.

On Saturday evening, six PhD holders who attended the interview for the post of assistant professors at Bharathiar University last year appeared before the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) here and testified against Ganapathi, who was arrested after he was caught taking a bribe. The six, who had in December 2017 petitioned the district collector against Ganapathi, told DVAC sleuths that they were eligible candidates, but were denied the post by the jailed vice-chancellor.

Arul Meena, a PhD holder in bioinformatics, said she had attended an interview at Bharathiar University for the post of assistant professor in 2016. One of the posts was allotted for Scheduled Castes (arunthathiyar–woman) and in the absence of such a candidate, next preference had to be given to SC (woman). “The candidate from SC (A) did not attend the interview, so I was the only SC woman. They should have offered me the post, but in violation of reservation norms, the university vice-chancellor allotted the post to SC (A –men),” she said.
