Mizoram varsity students seek appointment of VC

 AIZAWL, Aug 31: Mizoram University Students’ Council (MZUSC) has recently faxed a letter to Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar, requesting him to immediately appoint a regular Vice Chancellor for the Central University. The MZUSC said that the post of VC in Mizoram University has been lying vacant for almost two years. “A number of requests have been made to the authorities by the students as well as teachers’ association for immediate appointment of a regular Vice Chancellor. 

Till now, all the requests have been meaningless as a regular VC is not appointed though interaction/interview for short-listed candidates has been done more than three months ago,” it said. The MZUSC stated that the absence of a regular VC for such a long time has severely affected the employees and students, and the academic atmosphere has suffered the most. The students’ council has threatened to launch an agitation if their request for appointment of VC is not fulfilled by September 5.
