The Madras High Court on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, expressed anguish over three universities in Tamil Nadu remaining without Vice Chancellors for long periods due to certain disagreements between the State government and Governor R.N. Ravi, who is also the chancellor of these universities.

The First Division Bench of Chief Justice Sanjay V. Gangapurwala and Justice J. Sathya Narayana Prasad said: “It appears that in a dispute between various authorities, the academics is taking a back seat. The Universities are without a regular vice-chancellor for almost a year.”
