Syndicate member criticises union election reforms in Calicut varsity

A pro-Left Syndicate member in the University of Calicut has claimed that the proposal to revamp the rules related to college union election was approved at a recent meeting without detailed discussions.

K. Mohamed Haneefa, the Syndicate member, said in a statement on Thursday (September 24, 2026) that the report of a panel that studied the proposed reforms to the election rules was presented as an “out-of-agenda” item without being circulated to members in advance. The report was objected to by some members who sought adequate time for examination and discussion, he said.
