While the search panel was appointed within days after Rangappa's retirement, it has not met even once. A member of the panel indicated to TOI that the lack of efforts by the higher education department has delayed the meeting. Her appointment too had led to a controversy as the panel should not have a member who has any association with the university. Part of the delay was due to the appointment of former VC M Muniyamma as she had worked as a professor in University of Mysore. The post has been lying vacant since January 10, when incumbent VC K S Rangappa demitted office after his four-year term.
