Eight months-old NLUO Cuttack vice chancellor (VC) Dr Chandra Krishnamurthy will join as Pondicherry University’s (PU) VC this week, replacing Dr JAK Tareen.
The search committee that selected Krishnamurthy at PU comprised of North Maharashtra University ex-vice chancellor Dr RS Mali, Jawaharlal Nehru University Delhi ex-vice chancellor prof GK Chadha and Anna University Tamil Nadu ex-vice chancellor prof M Anadakrishnan. [New Indian Express]
Krishnamurthy was appointed NLUO’s VC on 30 April, after her tenure as VC at SNDT Women’s University Mumbai ended. The post of NLUO’s VC was vacated after former VC Faizan Mustafa resigned mid-tenure to join Nalsar Hyderabad as VC.
In July Krishnamurthy scrapped the three-year joint LLM-PhD degree programme which was started by Mustafa in 2011, compelling one of the two enrolled students to discontinue instruction at the university in the middle of the academic year.

It seems perhaps you yourself had gone into depression. Get well soon and remember, “once a sycophant, always a sycophant”.
Academically ZERO. Its all political...
Youre right, she should get her books published form Institute of Objective Studies!! Or Lambert, Germany.
Now, again she played a very safe and successfully. After UGC inspection she left university without informing anyone and without giving charge to anyone. She was running pillar to post (New Delhi-Mumbai-Pondicherry)again to workout logistics. See the search committee:
Dr M Anandakrishnan(A Tamilian), Prof. R S Mali (A Maharastrian) these two members were sufficient to search Madam Murthy.
Finally, file will go the same congress government, who owe her appointment in orissa. Political decision
A tamilian, brahmin, link with congress government, over and above a woman....all these are sufficient qualification to became a vice-chancellor. Scholarship does not matter otherwise professor Kolaskar was much ahead ....This is the state of affairs of higher education in India. Thank to Mr. Kapil Sibal, Thanks to His Excellency Pranab Da,.Thanks to UGC God save this country's higher education
Watevaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Pondicherry call her. We don't want her presence in our campus when we return from vacations and resume classes. Help us clean our campus. Hamein Campus Clean chahiye !!!!!
1- The Mumbai University Tribunal had set aside one of her Order to Remove Registrar, the Tribunal went on to say and i quote [b]"The vice-chancellor seems to be taking shelter under the honourable Chancellor office’s letter confirming her action".[/b]
The Tribunal also held that "[u][i][b]Through the fiat of a near unilateral administrative letter by the acting V-C without any authority in law, the impugned decision suffers from non-application of mind and consideration to the settled principles of standard code,[/b][/i][/u]"

2- When she was Acting VC at MU (September 2009– July 2010), There are instances of MU not following UGC guidelines 2009 for Docotoral Research. Its alleged that such compliance was being done to help some politicians. As the report says,[u] Incidentally, her son's doctoral proposal was accepted by Mumbai University at its last RRC meeting[/u].

At the last RC meeting, hen her son's proposal was accepted, was she still at MU or had she moved to SNDT?

Also the comment #8 saying that she wanted English faculty to conduct moot court in English subject is a LIE. She just wanted mooters to speak and write proper English so certain people with poor English and huge ego got upset and twisted her words.
A huge loss for NLUO. She should retain her place on the governing body.
First;your observation that "She is an academician of great standing" is actually not known to anyone as she has not taken any class till now in spite of repeated request by students and teachers. So how do you know this fact? May be that you have taken some private tuition at her residence.
Second;your observation that "She always helped me and my friends" has several implications. It this is true then for sure you belong to any categories: 1. Tamil, 2. Maharastra, 3. Group of five teachers (MMA RS)4.you wanted to meet for some cultural events etc. where she has developed some kind of expertise that even i would admit.5; you dont have any other work so you can wait for any amount of time at her chamber to meet her. Hope you are satisfied
Third; your sympathetic reply that "she wanted English faculty to conduct moot court in English subject is a LIE and She just wanted mooters to speak and write proper English" how do you know....but what a surprising and scholarly suggestion given by the VC to mooters, we came to know for the first time....this shows her academic standing.
Finally, that "certain people with poor English and huge ego got upset and twisted her words" has forced me to make it clear that you have definitely not attended any of the events/functions where she spoke on the podium, had it been you would not have made this comment.
What is truth, you can realize after seeing facebook and other social networking sites where students are expressing their views. after doing that your illusion that "She was popular among 99% of NLUO community" will also be clear.
You must have learnt "Res Ipsa Loquitor'...this is taught in first semester..it seems that you are not regular in the class...
[quote name="Reply"]First;your observation that "She is an academician of great standing" is actually not known to anyone as she has not taken any class till now in spite of repeated request by students and teachers.[/quote]
So only if she takes class will she become an academician of great standing? Has Amartya Sen taken class at NLUO? Has Upendra Baxi? And before you say they are not part of NLUO, let me inform that it is not the VCs job to take classes. Some people are doing it, but that is not the only benchmark to decide who is an academician of great standing. Past record is also a benchmark. [i]Res ipsa loquitur[/i] applies here. And it is [i]loquitur[/i] not [i]loquitor[/i], learn the correct spelling before you teach/preach to other people.
[quote name="Reply"]Second;your observation that "She always helped me and my friends" has several implications. It this is true then for sure you belong to any categories: 1. Tamil, 2. Maharastra, 3. Group of five teachers (MMA RS)[/quote]
I don't know about 5, but I am not a part of any of the other categories. Despite that she has been as cooperative as possible. This is my experience also.
And about 5, have you tried meeting the vice chancellors of other bigger places, like for example BHU and HNLU? Have you been given instant admission every time? Isnt it possible she was just busy when you went to meet her?
[quote name="Reply"]Third; your sympathetic reply that "she wanted English faculty to conduct moot court in English subject is a LIE and She just wanted mooters to speak and write proper English" how do you know....but what a surprising and scholarly suggestion given by the VC to mooters[/quote]
Fine, surprising and scholarly suggestion it may not be, but are you denying what Student has said? How do you know he is wrong?
[quote name="Reply"]What is truth, you can realize after seeing facebook and other social networking sites where students are expressing their views.[/quote]
Have you counted the number of people who havent expressed their views on facebook?
Unfortunate for the society that both teachers and preachers have to have NECESSARILY either write or express what they think by voice otherwise they could be just "VINCENT".
Well, your count of 5 just proves the writer right whom you quoted so thank you for your ratification. Better than expressing your undeserved comments on the issue at hand, thank god its saturday so why dont you just "sleep over the issue for the night" and then think about what you have written and the authenticity of your completely ambiguous and ill placed quoted reply.
Yes I have not counted the no. of people who have not expressed their views on facebook....BUT dont you think that this also shows that they dont care about VC and that is why they are not expressing views...but you are free interpret it that they love madam....it seems like BJP's Feel Good Factor...but you know what happened in that election..but my friend i can just say..."Dil ko khush rakhne ka Galib ye Khayal Achha Hai"
My sincere advice...someone has rightly mentioned somewhere that its all networking and political game to get appointed in the university...so play a constructive role so that we can be part of some change..dont support wrong things...
I won't be too sure of that. Forget the five classes, believe me I am not even in your part of the world, please check my IP address. About "hurting", maybe you overestimate your own potential.
[quote name="Reply"]BTW my proposition was only this: A person's academic standing is known in following ways, [b]one[/b],either "he or she is good teacher" which you can easily prove by taking few classes[/quote]
Misleading. This way a person is known as an academician of standing only WITHIN an institution. Let me give you an example. As you had suggested, I had done little research on academic standing. To my surprise, I found that the VC of NALSAR, Prof Faizan Mustafa, who was predecessor VC of NLUO, had only published books from unheard of publishers like Kanishka Publishers and Institute of Objective Studies. His academic standing within NLUO is because of the classes he has taken. But what about the outside world? Surely he is known there also as an academician of standing? If his books are published by such vague publishers, how is he so well known? We can assume, through seminars, conferences and so on. And the same applies to Prof Chandra Krishnamurthy also. So I think you have read too much into her not taking classes, and that too in the 8 months that she has been at NLUO, when it was in a deep crisis. In other words, my friend, it is you who have gone too far.
[quote name="Reply"]I tried actually to find out madam's writings in the journals/books but unfortunately couldn't, may be I am not a good researcher.[/quote]
Check (2008) 36 International Journal of Legal Information 245. It is published jointly from Cornell and Emory, as I could make it out. Perhaps you should try a little more.
[quote name="Reply"]Yes one of my friends told me that there is book which is published by some himalaya publ.[/quote]
Please refer to my observations on Institute of Objective Studies. The same logic applies here.
[quote name="Reply"]but in spite of all my efforts I did not find any favorable report, instead some adverse reports are available, the links of some of these are put in some of the aforementioned comments. Please check it out.[/quote]
In regard to adverse comments, have you seen this?

These have also been posted in the comments of Legallyindia in the past. What conclusions can we draw from it? The right ones or the wrong ones? Let us not be hasty in forming conclusions, my friend. Also it is all relative. Remember, when assessing the capabilities of the present NLUO vice chancellor, you have to see it in terms of what NLUO has experienced before.
[quote name="Reply"]let us take example of Prof. Lalji Singh,(VC-BHU) he still takes classes..Professor Mitra, Menon, Vijaykumar, Venkat Rao, S.S. Singh, Paramjit Jaiswal, Gurjeet Singh ...Ranbir Singh..all of them takes classes. It may be justified for big universities but my dear friend the law schools were started for a different purporse[/quote]
I agree, all these might take classes. I notice you have missed out Prof Faizan Mustafa, he also too classes at NLUO didn't he? Now tell me, if they had faced 25% of the pressure Prof Chandra Krishnamurthy is facing, would they have considered themselves free to take classes? For a VC, taking classes is a matter of priorities. It may be important, certainly, but there might be other matters that are more urgent.
[quote name="Reply"]real good teacher would like to take classes inspite of all busy schedule..[/quote]
That is only your opinion. It does not prove anything.
[quote name="Reply"]My sincere advice...someone has rightly mentioned somewhere that its all networking and political game to get appointed in the university...so play a constructive role so that we can be part of some change..dont support wrong things...[/quote]
Given the kind of things I am hearing about NLUO faculty acting against the university's interests, I think those who are actually closer to the institution should practice what they preach.
