The University Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2022, which will reportedly be tabled in the Assembly on Wednesday, has proposed raising the age ceiling for appointment as Vice Chancellor to five State universities to 65. It also envisages significant changes in the appointment process that would purportedly provide greater leverage for the State government in the exercise.
The proposed legislation, if passed by the Assembly, will amend the governing laws of Kerala University, Calicut University, Mahatma Gandhi University, the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, and Kannur University.
