VC Kumari terms her dismissal a political vendetta
Is the post of vice chancellor of a university apolitical? This and other questions are being debated in the state after the removal of vice chancellor of Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Dr. P. Kusuma Kumari, by the chancellor and Andhra Pradesh governor E.S.L. Narasimhan.
Based on the report submitted to the government by Justice A. Hanumanthu, the governor dismissed the VC for willful omission and refusal to carry out provisions of the AP Universities Act. The nine-point report by Hanumanthu commission confirmed the charges of various irregularities committed by the VC while appointing assistant professors without required qualifications during the 2009-10 academic year.
Disgruntled Kumari termed her dismissal a political vendetta. 'With the death of Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy (YSR), we (her group) have become political orphans in the state and turned out to be vulnerable for political vindictiveness,' she wailed before the media.
Kumari of Sri Padmavathi Mahila University assumed office of SKU as a VC in August, 2008, using her political clout. She is the sister-in-law of former TTD chairman Bhumana Karunakar Reddy, a close aide of late YSR and now a staunch loyalist of Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy (Jagan)'s camp.
Alleging partisanship in removal of Kumari, some MLAs in Jagan camp wittingly, or unwittingly confirmed that the VC was political prot'g' of YSR.
YSR was notoriously known for his nepotism. Besides, during his rule he had set an example by appointing his aides in pivotal posts for years, without following the basic norms. The appointment of Kumari also drew flak at that time. CPI leader and former MLA K Ramakrishna told TSI: 'Bhumana Subramanyam Reddy, VC's husband, was directly collecting money from candidates applying for the assistant professor posts.'
The Hanumanthu commission revealed that the VC, besides appointing unqualified assistant professors, illegally regularised the services of eight assistant professors who were appointed temporarily on contract basis under X Plan, with retrospective effect from the date of their appointment with payment of arrears. Taking a serious exception on ousted VC's remarks on her dismissal, Chief Minister K. Rosaiah faulted her for politicising the issue. Higher Education Minister D. Sridhar Babu, condemned Kumari's statements.
'As many as 23 vice chancellors were appointed during YSR's tenure but action was taken only against Kumari because she committed irregularities in recruitment,' he said.
