Notably, questions have been raised after the appointment of college principals where a male professor has been appointed as the professor of a women’s college. The governor defended by saying that there is no such rule that a male professor can’t be appointed to a women’s college. Also, concerns were raised after a home science professor was appointed as the principal of a commerce college.
Responding to the recruitment, the Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan said that the post of principals is an administrative post only and not an academic one. Also, the lottery system was adopted to get away with nepotism in the recruitment, he said. On the issue of male professors’ appointment to women’s colleges, the governor said that there are no guidelines or rules that a male candidate can not become a principal of a women’s college.
