CUEA seeks action against Syndicate member’s alleged illegal nomination
The presence of a student at meetings has invalidated major administrative decisions taken by the Syndicate since August 2026, says the Cochin University Employees Association
The Cochin University Employees Association (CUEA) has filed a petition with the Vice-Chancellor of Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) seeking immediate action against a student representative on the university Syndicate. The association alleges that the student's alleged illegal nomination and continued attendance at Syndicate meetings have rendered major decisions taken since August 2026 invalid.
According to the CUEA, the Syndicate Act, 1986 states that a student nominated to the Syndicate by the State government must be a current member of the Cusat Senate on the nomination date. However, the student in question lacked Senate membership when he was nominated as a student representative in August 2026, as stated by the CUEA.
