Governor urged to remove BU syndicate member

COIMBATORE, FEBRUARY 14, 2019 00:00 IST

Three members of the Bharathiar University syndicate, including a member of the Vice-Chancellor committee, have written to Governor Banwarilal Purohit, who is also the Chancellor, to remove a member from the administrative body.

V-C committee members P. Thirunavukkarasu, R. Nithyanandam and Bindu Ajeet wrote on Saturday last in three separate letters to Mr. Banwarilal Purohit to remove the syndicate member Prof. Chinnadurai, principal of Kamban Arts and Science College, as he had crossed 62 years of age.

Quoting a Government Order issued in this regard, Mr. Thirunavukkarasu said that though Prof. Chinnadurai had crossed 62 years of age, he continued to be the principal of the college and by virtue of that a syndicate member.

This was in violation of the Bharathiar University rules and a resolution of the very syndicate, which had said that persons who had crossed 62 years of age should not continue as principals.

In his letter, Mr. Nithyanandam said that there was a Madras High Court ruling in this regard and continuance of Prof. Chinnadurai would amount of disobeying the court.

Asked about the demand to remove Prof. Chinnadurai from the syndicate, Registrar in-charge B. Vanitha said that the University had initiated the process in this regard. “The University will send a note to the Higher Education Secretary for approval in a day or two and then initiate further action.”
