President Murmu returns Tamil Nadu’s university bill without assent, citing UGC conflicts, delaying vice-chancellor appointment.
President Droupadi Murmu has returned Tamil Nadu’s 2022 University of Madras Amendment Bill, which sought to shift control of vice-chancellor appointments from the governor to the state government, without assent.
The move, citing potential conflicts with UGC regulations, reignites tensions over state autonomy in higher education.
The bill had been pending for nearly three years after being reserved by the governor.
With the University of Madras still without a permanent vice-chancellor since August 2023, the state plans to consult legal experts on next steps, possibly revising and resubmitting the legislation.
