Prof Ishwara Bhat has joined the Karnataka State Law University as vice chancellor, after having resigned as VC from NUJS Kolkata under student pressure in April.
Bhat was not available for comment when we called today but his office at KSLU confirmed that he had joined as VC on 13 June.
Bhat had joined NUJS as VC in November 2011 from Mysore University where he was law department chairman, and despite student opposition had won an extension of his tenure as VC at NUJS after his first term of five years first ended in 2014.
He was eventually forced to resign in April this year, however, after a">large scale protest by the students at NUJS, who alleged that he was responsible for driving the reputation of the law school into the ground through mismanagement of its affairs.
In the brief interim between NUJS’ first ever university review and his resignation, Bhat had applied and was selected for the post of VC at CNLU Patna. However, he never ended up joining after a mass movement of CNLU students rejected his appointment.
Update 5 July 2018: The news was first reported by the New Indian Express.

1. Can his cronies follow suit?
2. We will not let you get away so easily, pal. An inquiry has been initiated. You can't just set a house on fire and then run away expecting no accountability.
3. Why is LI calling him an ex CNLU VC when he was never formally appointed? Is this just trolling?
If MP Singh could be brought back...that would do...

Thanks, didn't realise it had been covered, have removed the Scoop tag and updated the story. I think they may have kept it quiet on purpose... :)
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you - and then you win.
1. shift the focus from classroom learning to self learning. thus, avoid taking classes to encourage students to learn on their own.
2. learning to be made a pleasure and not a pressure. Hence, nobody is to fail in any course.
3. institutions must be student friendly. thus, support all demands that students made, especially demands for project extensions and such other relaxations from academic rules.
NUJS will climb unbelievable heights under her leadership.
