Dr Ciza Thomas appointed interim Kerala University Vice Chancellor

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Amid the controversy over the suspension of the registrar in connection with the Bharat Mata row, the Governor assigned temporary charge of the Vice Chancellor of Kerala University to Dr. Ciza Thomas.

Governor Rajendra Arlekar has decided to give additional charge to the Digital University VC Dr Ciza Thomas in the context of the current Vice Chancellor Dr. Mohan Kunnummal’s scheduled visit to Russia. Ciza Thomas has been given the charge till July 8th.

Dr Ciza Thomas' appointment as the Digital University VC during Governor Arif Mohammed Khan’s reign had strained relations with the government. Due to this, the government had withheld Ciza’s benefits, including her pension. After a long legal battle, Ciza recently got pension benefits.

Amidst this comes her new elevated position as the Vice Chancellor of Kerala University.
