181 Vice Chancellors and academicians accuse Rahul Gandhi of spreading falsehoods about university head appointment process, claiming it's based on merit, not affiliation.
181 Vice Chancellors and academicians, including from prestigious universities, have written an open letter accusing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of spreading "falsehood" regarding the appointment process for university heads. In the letter, they accused Gandhi of alleging that vice chancellors are appointed solely on the basis of affiliation with an organisation rather than merit. The process by which VCs are selected, they claimed, is characterised by stringent, transparent rigorous procedure grounded in the values of meritocracy, scholarly distinction, and integrity.
