more-inThe State government has promulgated an amendment to the existing laws governing the appointment of Vice-Chancellors in State universities and the formation of search committees. Anbalagan, on Saturday, announced an ordinance for constitution of V-C search committees, which had been approved earlier by the Governor-Chancellor. The ordinance specifies that the search committee be constituted six months before the tenure of the incumbent VC ends. In the case of Madurai Kamaraj University it took two-and-a-half years and for Madras University, 15 months. The selection of VC should be through proper identification of a panel of three to five names by a search committee.
