Bengaluru: Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) in Mysuru will not shut down, said Higher Education Minister Basavaraja Rayareddy yesterday. That is a U-turn for the Minister, who had last week said the University may collapse and it will be developed as a Skill Training Centre.
Following intense criticism and protests over his off-the-cuff remarks, Rayareddy said that an expert committee has been constituted to study and find alternatives to keep alive the KSOU after the University Grants Commission (UGC) derecognised it.
