Tamil Nadu government has strongly opposed the step taken by the central government to allow governors the authority to appoint Vice Chancellors and other non-academic members.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has introduced draft guidelines for the appointment of vice-chancellors in state universities, which has ignited a debate on federalism in Tamil Nadu. The guidelines suggest the inclusion of a nominee from the UGC chairman in the search-cum-selection committees, a move seen by some state officials and academics as an overreach into state autonomy.

This has led to discussions on the balance of power between the central government and states, with fears that the UGC's move might set a precedent for further centralization of educational governance.
