Mohan, a retired Professor of MKU, was rejected during the scrutiny of nominations on Saturday since he was a pensioner and hence connected to the MKU. “According to the statute, BoS along with bodies such as the Senate, Syndicate and Academic Council are ‘authorities’ of the university,” he said. V. Kalaiselvan, president, MKU Professors’ Welfare Association, that is backing the candidature of Mr. Irudaya Rajan and Mr. Arul Chellakumar, however, said that their nominations did not violate the statute. Similarly, in the case of Mr. Irudaya Rajan, he alleged that CDS was not a State or Central university.
