Over two months after former Goa University registrar Y V Reddy stepped down from the post prematurely on health grounds, the varsity has not yet begun the process of appointing a full-time registrar, officials said.

“When the office of the registrar is vacant, the duties of the office shall be performed by such person as the vice-chancellor may appoint for the purpose,” the Goa University statute states.

Professor Radhika Nayak is currently serving as officiating registrar and the arrangement is till a time a full-time replacement for Reddy is finalised.

The new registrar is to be chosen on recommendation of a selection panel, comprising four members, with the university’s vicechancellor as the panel’s chairman.

The other three members of the selection committee have to include an academician or an administrator who is the nominee of the chancellor or Goa governor. Part of the panel will be two nominees of the executive council from among its own members, who are not employees of the university or the affiliated colleges, the statutes of Goa University state.

The registrar, as per the statutes, is to be appointed on the basis of deputation/direct recruitment for an initial tenure of two years, extendable to five years or till the age of retirement.
