The panel would recommend three names from a list of ten and send it to Governor (who is also the University’s chancellor) for a final decision. The tenure of P Manishankar as Vice Chancellor ends in January 2021. The syndicate nominated S Mohan a retired professor from Alagappa university. Now the government appointed member is only to be appointed to the panel.
