Blacklisted Universities to appeal SC

Amidst the fear to lose their ‘deemed university’ status, the top officials of the 16 Tamil Nadu universities have decided to individually move the Supreme Court (SC),  seeking a show-cause notice and a three-year rectification window before a final decision is taken.

Dr Ishari K Ganesh, chancellor of Vel’s University said, "After the verdict, we would individually file a petition seeking a show-cause notice and a three-year period  for rectification of the anomalies. None of the universities has received any communication on what was wrong with them.”

The chancellor of a blacklisted deemed university said that the UGC review committee report that was in favour of the institutions should also be submitted along with  Taak Force committee report.
The vice-chancellor of the Vel Tech University was surprised over the institute being blacklisted despite the UGC review being in favour of the university.
