The Centre today steered clear of getting into any controversy over the appointment of some Vice Chancellors by the UPA government. During Question Hour in the Lok Sabha, HRD Minister Smriti Irani defended the appointments after a BJP member questioned the selection of army and IAS officers as Vice Chancellors.
In an apparent reference to the appointment of Lt Gen (Retd) Zameeruddin Shah as the Aligarh Muslim University’s VC, Irani said “if in a democracy, the appointment is made by the Search and Selection Committee”, it should be accepted.
“Any comment would not be good due to the autonomy enjoyed by the central universities,” she said.
