Governor “stays” decisions of DUK BoG Meeting

Why it matters
This reflects the ongoing tension between state-appointed university leadership and the Governor's office regarding administrative oversight and governance.
Governor Rajendra Arlekar, who also serves as the Chancellor of the Digital University Kerala (DUK), has reportedly stayed the implementation of decisions taken at a recent meeting of the university’s Board of Governors (BoG). The move comes on the basis of allegations that the BoG meeting was convened by its chairperson whose term had allegedly expired. It is also alleged that the meeting was conducted without the required quorum. The Governor also directed Vice-Chancellor Saji Gopinath to produce all records and files related to the BoG meeting.
