---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Peter DeSouza <pe...@csds.in> Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2015 12:58:28 +0530 Subject: Legal opinion on continuation of the Vice Chancellor, Goa University To: atmaramsnadka...@rediffmail.com Cc: Dear Shri Atmaram S Nadkarni,
I write to you as a member of the Executive Council on the matter of continuation of the Vice Chancellor after the age of 65 and beyond the terms of his contract. My questions are in the attachment which I have written as an Open Letter to you. This is because the matter is now in the public domain and it is incumbent on us to give information to an emergent public discourse. I believe this is a case of disregard for the law and your High office has been mentioned as having been consulted by the Department of Higher Education. Your public clarification would go a long way towards educating us on how the law works especially when the political class seeks to undermine it. I am also copying the open letter to other members of the EC, Goa University, as also to editors and journalists of various papers in Goa. I look forward to your public response. With best wishes, Peter Ronald deSouza, Member, Goa University EC
