MG University staff protest over vice-chancellor and higher education policies
MG University employees staged a protest over the university’s leadership and administrative problems.
The MG University Employees Association organised the demonstration in Kerala.
CPI(M) leader P. Rajeeve urged Kerala’s government to reject higher education measures that would align the state’s sector with Union government policies.
The association called for an end to what it described as the vice-chancellor’s autocratic style and for a reversal of higher fees for syndicate members.
It also sought experienced officials to get the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme back on track.
The association said the university faced an academic and administrative crisis and wanted quicker decisions on files, but no next steps were reported.
