Bharathiar University Staff Association to stage continuous protests from July 15, demanding the dismissal of Registrar Roopa Gunaseelan. The university has been without a permanent Vice-Chancellor for two years and Registrar for seven years.


Coimbatore: The Bharathiar University Staff Association has announced plans to stage continuous protests starting July 15, demanding the dismissal of the university's Registrar, Roopa Gunaseelan. The announcement was made on July 8, highlighting the ongoing administrative issues at the prestigious institution.

For the past two years, Bharathiar University has been functioning without a permanent Vice-Chancellor, with a committee overseeing the responsibilities. Additionally, the Registrar's position has remained vacant for seven years, with professors taking on the role in a temporary capacity.

The Staff Association's decision to protest comes amid growing concerns over the prolonged absence of permanent leadership in key administrative positions. The protesters are specifically calling for the removal of Registrar Roopa Gunaseelan, though the reasons for this demand were not explicitly stated in the announcement.

This development underscores the administrative challenges faced by Bharathiar University and raises questions about the impact of these vacancies on the institution's overall functioning and academic environment. The upcoming protests are likely to draw attention to the need for swift action in filling these crucial positions and addressing the concerns of the university staff.
