P Maruthamuthu, former vice-chancellor of Madurai Kamaraj University, was elected senate nominee to the Madras University’s vice-chancellor search panel on Thursday.
With his nomination, now the search panel has two former VCs. The governor-chancellor has to appoint his nominee to complete the search panel for selecting the new vice-chancellor.
Last week, the Madras University syndicate had nominated P Ramasamy, former vice chancellor of Alagappa University, to the search panel.
During the special senate meeting convened to elect a nominee to the search panel, the two associations in Madras University — professors forum of Madras University and Madras University teachers association (MUTA) — nominated Maruthamuthu and M Anandakrishnan, former vice-chancellor of Anna University, to the search panel. Following the two proposals, the senate conducted voting to choose its nominee. “Out of the 87 votes polled on Thursday, Maruthamuthu got 65 votes and Anandkrishnan got 21. One vote was not valid,” a senate member said.The three-year tenure of vice-chancellor P Duraisamy is coming to an end in May.
In 2016, following the disappearance and non-cooperation of R Surendira Prasad, former member of the Madras University VC search panel, the state government had brought an amendment fixing minimum qualification for search panel members and time limit to shortlist VC candidates.
