Retired IAS officer is syndicate nominee for MKU V-C search panel
MADURAI, NOVEMBER 06, 2018 00:00 IST
Oza’s election was a foregone conclusion
D.K. Oza, a retired IAS officer and former Vice-Chancellor of the Gandhigram Rural Institute (GRI), has been named the Madurai Kamaraj University syndicate’s nominee to the institution’s Vice-Chancellor search panel.
The announcement was made by MKU Registrar V. Chinniah on Monday — the last day for the withdrawal of nominations for the election to choose the syndicate’s nominee.
The election of Mr. Oza to the search panel was a foregone conclusion since he was the only person to have filed a nomination to contest the election.
Though it was clear last Monday — the last day for the filing of nominations — that Mr. Oza would be the winner, the university’s administration said a formal announcement could be made only after the window for the withdrawal of nominations closed.
The election was necessitated in the wake of the Madras High Court’s decision to set aside the appointment of C. Thangamuthu, former V-C of the Bharatidasan University, who was unanimously chosen by the syndicate without any election. An election announced subsequently was cancelled by the syndicate after complaints were raised questioning the candidature of the two contestants in the fray.
With Mr. Oza’s election, the search panel will have all the three members required, the other two being Nageshwar Rao, V-C of the Indira Gandhi National Open University, who is the Governor-Chancellor’s nominee, and M. Anandakrishnan, former V-C of Anna University, who is the senate’s nominee.
