In a letter to Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, who is also the Chancellor of the university, P. Rasheed Ahammed said four backlog vacancies existed as per university records for the differently abled in the cadre of assistant professors. The backlog in the posts of associate professor and professor had not been identified as yet. Mr. Ahammed alleged that the university took a unilateral decision to issue a notification for recruitment overlooking the backlog vacancies, in violation of the provisions of the Kerala State and Subordinate Service Rules and the directions of the University Grants Commission. He alleged that the authorities went ahead with the recruitment despite being alerted about the denial of natural justice to the differently abled people.
