The Pondicherry University Teachers' Association (PUTA) has sent a letter to Union Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani seeking immediate removal of Pondicherry University Vice Chancellor Chandra Krishnamurthy and a probe into her academic credentials.
The teachers demanded after newspaper reports that documents showed by Krishnamurthy has plagiarised most of the book she mentioned in her CV.
The letter from PUTA says that a VC must not just protect academic ethics but also "nurture" them, and "this shameful and indefensible act of academic theft and cheating makes her position as head of an institution, that too of a central university, absolutely untenable".
The allegations regarding her book add to other charges of gross illegalities against her, says PUTA, adding that her appointment by the UPA regime was also fraught with problems.
Reportedly, Krishnamurthy appeared to have plagiarised most parts in one book by her, Legal Education in India (2009 and 2011), mentioned in her CV. Five out of eight chapters and the preface appear to be verbatim copies of papers published by eminent legal scholars. Two other books mentioned in her CV may have never been published at all, reported Indian Express.
