Transparency needed in appointment of vice-chancellors: M R Doreswamy

Former adviser to the state government (education reforms) Prof M R Doreswamy has urged the government to bring in transparency in the appointment of vice-chancellors for state-run universities.

Doreswamy told reporters, "The government has a habit of appointing sitting VCs to the search committees to select VCs. But, when the sitting VCs are in obligation with the government, how can they give justice during selection?"
