Controversy

[edit]

The University faces a severe financial crunch and is on the verge of closing down various courses.[24] Religious festival celebrations under Acting vice-chancellor Jairaj Amin sparked widespread protests as students demanded that university remain a place for learning, not religion.[25]

In January 2024 the Enforcement Directorate raided the office of the Vice Chancellor and registrar in connection with a Rs 150 cr recruitment scam in Kolar-Chikkaballapura District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Limited (KOMUL).[26][27]

At the start of 2024 about 129 teaching posts remained vacant at the university.[28][29] In a move to further hide transparency, the university syndicate decided to stop live streaming of meetings.[30]

Due to poor resource management, the University is closing down multiple post graduate courses.[31] Evening college courses have been discontinued.[32] Facing multiple issues, the ABVP union created a protest forcing the university to address them.[33]
