Registrar given temporary charge of department students’ union president in Keralam’s Calicut University
Order says Vice-Chancellor P. Raveendran took the decision because ‘none of the teachers at the university is willing to take charge as the president of the DSU due to the unacceptable behaviour of the union officials’
C.D. Sebastian, the Registrar of the University of Calicut, has been temporarily appointed as the president of the Department Students' Union (DSU) at the university's main campus in Tenhipalam, Malappuram district. The decision was made by K. Fazalurahman, Dean of Students' Welfare, on August 23 after no faculty members were willing to take on the role due to the perceived unacceptable behavior of the union officials. The DSU president is typically a faculty member responsible for the union.
Initially, P. Sivadasan, a professor from the Department of History, was appointed as the DSU president. However, Sivadasan later informed the authorities that he had been entrusted with additional responsibilities as the Head of the Department of Political Science, alongside his regular academic duties, and as the general secretary of the South Indian History Congress. Due to these multiple commitments, he expressed his unwillingness to accept the DSU presidency.
