The Madras High Court on Tuesday asked the Tamil Nadu government when 14 state-run universities will get Vice-Chancellors and Syndicates. The court also directed the state to explain the delay.
Justice N. Anand Venkatesh suo motu impleaded the Higher Education Secretary as a respondent in a batch of applications filed before him. The judge sought a response from the government by November 17.
The matter concerns the functioning of the universities, which have been without these key appointments. The court’s order comes amid questions over the administration of the institutions.
