Governor Arif Mohammad Khan has said that the Minister of Higher Education has no authority to write a letter to the Governor regarding the appointment of the Vice-Chancellor. Only the Search Committee has the power to select the VC. The governor said it was not his job to reply to Minister R Bindu.
He added there would be no change in the decision to step down as chancellor. The file re-appointing Dr Gopinath Raveendran as the Vice-Chancellor of Kannur was not signed wholeheartedly. He acted against his own decision to avoid a confrontation with the government. The governor said the chancellor had decided to step down so as not to repeat the mistake.
