The Kerala Assembly on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution urging the Union government to withdraw the Draft University Grants Commission Regulations, 2025, reported ANI.

Issued on January 6, the regulations propose granting governors the authority to form a three-member committee to appoint vice chancellors of universities.

The new rules also propose to allow industry experts and public sector veterans to be appointed as vice chancellors, moving away from the convention of selecting only academics.
