Tension between Higher Education Minister R. Bindhu, also pro-chancellor, and Mohan Kunnumel, acting vice-chancellor, reached a boiling point during the Kerala University Senate meeting. As the room buzzed with impatience, Bindhu's authoritarian stance clashed with Kunnumel's determination. This created an atmosphere of palpable discord.

The gap between the two personalities, each with their own vision for the future of the university, cast a shadow over the process. This leaves many uncertain about the direction of the institution.

Despite attempts to maintain decorum, the impasse became increasingly apparent as Bindhu questioned Kunnumel's decisions and leadership style. However, legal experts are not in favor of Minister Bindu's action.

The outcome of this confrontation would reverberate across the entire higher education landscape in Kerala. The attitude of students seeking foreign universities ignoring those in Kerala cannot be categorically disputed.
