Madurai: The next syndicate meeting of the Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU), to discuss a host of issues including various pending complaints of wrongdoings, is likely to be held on March 24, vice-chancellor M Krishnan said on Thursday.

The syndicate is expected to take a decision on the alleged graft charges and wrongdoings of controller of examination, O Ravi and a misconduct complaint against a faculty member of a MKU constituent college in Thirumangalam.

The CoE has already submitted his replies to the two charge memos issued by the MKU VC seeking explanation regarding two separate alleged wrongdoings.

The first was with regard to an incident on January 23, where an unauthorised personnel from a distance education centre was found going through consolidated marksheets in the CoE office.

The second was about the issue of November 2019 exam answer sheets being lost and found just before the results were to be announced on February 10. The CoE was also accused of corruption and bribery.

In another instance, a teaching faculty member from an MKU constituent college in Thirumangalam was accused of indulging in unprofessional behaviour by several female faculty and students.

An internal committee was subsequently formed to look into the matter and a report submitted to the VC.

The last MKU syndicate meeting was held on January 29. During that meeting, it was decided to call for a re-advertisement for the post of registrar as all candidates interviewed that day were found unsuitable.
