NLUO notices empty VC chair, announces hunt for replacement

NLU Orissa: Needs new VC
NLU Orissa: Needs new VC
Breaking: NLUO Cuttack in Orissa has invited applications for the post of its vice-chancellor (VC), having constituted a committee to select the new VC three days after outgoing VC Chandra Krishnamurthy’s last day on campus.

The university will accept applications till 18 February. The search committee comprises NLSIU Bangalore vice chancellor R Venkata Rao, Orissa high court judge I Mohanty, and the Bar Council of India’s member from Andhra Pradesh Ramchander Rao N.

The advertisement for the post, on NLUO’s website, provides that the VC will be paid Rs 80,000 per month in addition to “free furnished housing accommodation maintained by the School”, and allowances such as medical, telephone, transport facilities, and others.

“The NLUO is looking for a Professor who has made a significant contribution to knowledge and is an outstanding scholar in law with some experience of the University administration,” the advertisement further states.

Legally India had reported on Tuesday that the university was still without a search committee to appoint the new VC, a month after Krishnamurthy resigned to be appointed as VC of the Pondicherry University.

Krishnamurthy completed barely eight months at the four-year-old university and is the second VC after Faizan Mustafa left to head up Nalsar Hyderabad. Both Mustafa and Krishnamurthy resigned from their positions at NLUO before the end of their tenure.

During her brief stint here, Krishnamurthy scrapped the joint LLM-PhD program started by Mustafa, blaming lack of recognition by the University Grants Commission (UGC) as a hurdle to its conduct.
