Mysuru: Former MLC G. Madhusudan today expressed fear that the century-old University of Mysore (UoM) too may be de-recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) like the Karnataka State Open University (KSOU).
Addressing reporters at the Pathrakarthara Bhavan, he alleged that the former UoM VC Prof. K.S. Rangappa had cheated 16,670 students through outreach and online education programmes. Stating that the UoM had received a notice from the UGC seeking explanation with regard to outreach and online programmes, Madhusudan said that the University had failed to reply on previous two occasions. "The credit of closing down the university will go to Prof. Rangappa," he added.
