KTU Syndicate decides against approving proposal for Pro Vice-Chancellor
The V-C had reportedly included on the agenda of the Syndicate meeting a proposal to appoint Biju, a retired Professor of the Mar Athanasius College of Engineering, Kothamangalam, as the PV-C
On Thursday, the Syndicate of APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU) voted against a proposal to appoint a Pro Vice-Chancellor (PV-C). The Vice Chancellor, Ciza Thomas, had suggested the appointment of Biju, a retired Professor from Mar Athanasius College of Engineering, Kothamangalam, to the position. However, the Syndicate members raised concerns that the university's statute requires a panel of candidates to be presented for the appointment, not a single name.
Given that the Vice Chancellor was not able to submit a panel of names, the Syndicate decided not to approve the recommendation.
