Kerala govt bill to curtail governor’s power in varsities

In News 
  • A bill that seeks to give the Kerala government an upper hand in selecting vice chancellors of 13 state universities will be taken up by the state assembly.
Provisions 
  • Under the existing legal framework, a three-member search committee appointed by the governor is mandated to recommend potential candidates. This committee comprises nominees of the governor, the University Grants Commission and the university senate’s representative.
  • The bill proposes to increase the strength of this search committee to five - nominees of the state government and state higher education council will be the two additional members - and stipulate that the candidate with the majority support in the search committee should be notified by the governor.
  • This will end the governor’s discretion in the selection process.
