1,000 teachers of Tezpur University, Assam, want Vice Chancellor Shambhu Nath Singh removed. The Teachers' Association sent a memo to the Governor and Chief Minister. They claim financial wrongdoing in contracts, poor building quality, and staff issues. The VC allegedly made rude remarks about singer Zubeen Garg after his death. Teachers say the VC's actions hurt the university's ranking. The Public Relations Officer quit last week, calling the VC's style 'autocratic'.
