After leaving the syndicate meeting of Bharathiar University in Coimbatore last week in haste, higher education secretary Mangat Ram Sharma has decided to conduct syndicate meeting of Bharathidasan University in the secretariat at Chennai on May 27.
While the syndicate meeting was going to be held on Monday, May 20, it has now been postponed to May 27. But the meeting may not take place on May 27 either as another crucial meeting on constituent colleges is scheduled on the same date, a source said.
Speaking to TOI, university registrar Gopinath Ganapathy said that the syndicate meeting was scheduled to take place on Monday, May 20. But it was postponed as higher education secretary is not available on the day. Based on his availability, the date has been rescheduled to May 27. But the fact that the date falls after election results, he insisted on conducting the meeting in Chennai as all principal secretaries will be in Chennai, Ganapathy said.
“Vice chancellor’s request for conducting the meeting in the university premises was rejected by the higher education secretary,” said sources from the university.
A crucial meeting on constituent colleges, which was to take place on May 21, has been rescheduled on May
27. It is unlikely for the higher education secretary to attend both the meetings, said the source.
“Usually the syndicate members will be given travel allowance for attending syndicate meeting. The cost will increase manifold, which is unnecessary spending to the university and can be avoided,” said a syndicate member. Affiliation to some of the new colleges that will start functioning from this year is pending, which has to be taken up in this syndicate meeting. Apart from approval to new courses started by some of the affiliated colleges, discussion on appointment of some of the vacant teaching posts in the university is likely to take place, a source said.
