Kathmandu, January 7
Tribhuvan University‘s vice chancellor appointment process has been cancelled.
The selection and recommendation committee formed to recommend names for the appointment of the vice-chancellor issued a notice saying that the call for applications has been withdrawn.
The committee issued a notice on January 5 and called for applications for the vice-chancellor. It was withdrawn after there was a dispute about the provisions mentioned in the notice.
Stakeholders protested following the notice that required a certified copy of the details of university officials who had worked for at least three years (including the specific year, month, and day) in any one of the positions.
In response to the dispute, Chancellor and Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal personally directed the issuance of a new notice.
The appointment process for the vice chancellor at TU will now begin only after the issuance of a revised notice.
