The Jadavpur University Teachers Association (JUTA) has called for a protest rally on the campus to demand the appointment of a permanent Vice-Chancellor. JUTA is the largest representative body of teachers in the university. The protest is in response to the term of the Jadavpur university VC Suranjan Das ending on May 31. Governor C V Ananda Bose had appointed interim VCs in 14 state universities where the terms of previous ones had expired in May, but West Bengal Education Minister Bratya Basu described these appointments by Raj Bhavan as legally not valid and called upon the VCs not to take over charges. In a related development, the state government on June 12 declared all 14 vice-chancellors of state universities, appointed by the Governor in early June, will continue to draw the salaries that they were getting as professors, and not as per their new assignment by the governor as interim VC as it did not have the sanction of the higher education department.
