Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi has declared the state government's notification regarding the selection panel for a new vice-chancellor of Madras University as void. The notification, issued on September 13, omitted the University Grants Commission (UGC) chairman's nominee, contrary to the governor's previous announcement. This disagreement centers on whether a UGC nominee should be included in the selection committee, with the state government arguing it's not required by existing laws, while the governor cites UGC regulations and a court judgment supporting such inclusion.
