Madras High Court Presses TN on State University Posts
The Madras High Court has asked the Tamil Nadu government when 14 state-run universities will get Vice-Chancellors and Syndicates. Justice N. Anand Venkatesh has made the Higher Education Secretary a respondent in a batch of applications he filed, and has asked for an explanation by November 17.
