AMU shortlists VC’s wife for new VC post

The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) executive council has selected the wife of the current vice chancellor as one of the shortlisted candidates for the next vice chancellor’s post. However, the selection process is facing controversy as a professor has alleged that the proper procedure was not followed. The professor claims that the acting vice chancellor, who chaired the meeting, should not have been involved in the decision-making process due to a conflict of interest. The university has responded stating that there is no rule prohibiting a close relative from being on the executive council during the selection process.
