A reply to a Right to Information (RTI) application filed with the Governor’s office has revealed that the Vice Chancellor (V-C) of the Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU), Kalyani Mathivanan, had provided a designation entirely different from the actual position she held at Ethiraj College when she applied to the Search Committee for the post.

However, when Express contacted her on Monday, she vehemently denied the charge of “misrepresenting” her designation.

According to the reply to the application, which sought the designation that she gave in her biodata submitted to the search panel, her position at the Ethiraj College here when she applied for the Vice Chancellor’s post was “Professor and Head of the English Department.”

However, sources said that according to official documents obtained from Ethiraj College, including her pay slip for the month of April, which is available with Express, she had been designated as “Associate Professor and Head of the Department.”

This was also confirmed by Express with the Vice Chancellor.

Such a disparity raises the question of whether the designation was “misrepresented” by the V-C and if an appointment made on the basis of such an application could be valid.
