#Unwarranted protest
It is yet another blow to the Kerala state government that the Kerala High Court has refused to suspend the appointment of Dr. Ciza Thomas as Vice Chancellor in charge of APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU).
It was Governor Arif Mohammed Khan who appointed Ciza Thomas tand it was purely standards based. All universities are independent bodies where the government has no direct jurisdiction. Nevertheless, the ruling politicians directly engage in all university affairs, including the appointment of teachers, violating UGC guidelines. This was questioned by the Chancellor.
The government is wasting taxpayers' money by appointing lawyers to attend court cases. The Chancellor Governor is right in his action and the protest of the CPM against him is unjustified.
