The Governor of Tamil Nadu, RN Ravi, has raised concerns about the state's appointment of Vice-Chancellors, citing non-compliance with UGC regulations. The central issue is the exclusion of a UGC Chair nominee in appointment committees, as mandated by court rulings. The matter is pending before the Supreme Court.

The office of the Tamil Nadu Governor, RN Ravi, has expressed concerns regarding the state's appointment processes for Vice-Chancellors at Bharathiar, Bharathidasan, and Periyar Universities, alleging violations of court orders.
The Governor's statement emphasizes that the University Grants Commission (UGC) regulations require a nominee from the UGC Chairman on such committees, and non-compliance with these guidelines renders appointments 'void ab initio', according to the Supreme Court.
The Governor's office urges the Tamil Nadu government to amend the search committee compositions to include a UGC nominee or suspend proceedings until the Supreme Court resolves the dispute.
