COMMENT | How about an audit of the VC appointments process?

COMMENT | A couple of weeks ago (Feb 13), I wrote a column suggesting that it is time to be serious about the appointment of university vice-chancellors (VC), sparked by the abrupt resignation of a VC then.

Reportedly, the police have taken action on the case, indicating there is enough to deep dive into the search for the truth. After all, the said VC himself also lodged a report with the police after resigning from the post.

The issue must be serious enough that voices in Parliament urged the government to expedite the matter so that the higher education sector can be saved from further demoralisation.
