Suggestion to scrap Arun's Ph D registration

Thiruvananthapuram: The syndicate sub-committee on research at Kerala University on Wednesday recommended the cancellation of the part-time research registration granted to VA Arun Kumar, son of Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan, on the grounds that he did not possess adequate teaching experience. The decision would come into effect only after the Vice-Chancellor ratified it, university sources said. The syndicate took up the matter following complaints that Arun Kumar did not have seven years' teaching experience necessary for getting the Ph D registration.
