Salem: Educationalists on Tuesday urged the state govt to take steps to cancel the interview scheduled by Periyar University on March 1 for the registrar post.
The state govt had in a 2017 directive to all universities advised vice-chancellors against making any appointments or policy decisions within three months of the end of their term.
Pointing out that Periyar University vice-chancellor R Jagannathan’s term would end on May 19, educationalists said the interview for the registrar post was being scheduled just two months and 18 days before the end of the VC’s tenure.
V Vaithyanathan, member, national executive committee of All India University and College Teachers’ Federation, said the VC, who was facing a probe into various corruption charges, was moving forward with the interview plans without any regard for the directive.
“This action is unacceptable and violates the govt order.”
When contacted, Jagannathan declined to comment on the matter, questioning the relevance of a letter from 2017.
“What will I comment on the letter?” he asked, refusing to elaborate.```
