Univ. of Madras offers M.A degree program in " Kalaignar’s thoughts".

More loyal than the king, Thiruvasagam, soon after taking over as the VC in October 2009, introduced an MA in " Kalaignar’s thoughts". As a cover to sneak in his loyalty to the then CM, he also introduced MA courses in " Periyar and Anna thoughts". Just before coming to Madras university, Thiruvasagam was the VC of Bharatiyar University in Coimbatore where he initiated translations of Karunanidhi’s literary works into English. He even attempted translation into Chinese through a partner university!
While we are on the subject, another person who needs to worry is Tamil Nadu Open University Vice-Chancellor Kalyani Anbuchelvan who happens to be the daughter-in-law of former finance minister K Anbazhagan. With such a close connection to the powers that were, Kalyani had praised the DMK leadership at various public including university fora. Another educationist took it a step further — he criticized Jayalalitha in a book he wrote last year on the DMK’s history. The educationist was Prof A Ramasamy, vice-chairman of the Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education (TANSCHE), who has been associated with the DMK since he was a student. But in 2001, when Jayalalitha came to power, she let him finish his term as VC at Alagappa University, but since he wrote a book criticizing her thereafter, maybe he should pack his bags. While the rule book says that the state government cannot remove VCs before they complete their tenure, it does not say anything about all the hurdles a government can bring in to make the incumbent disappear.

How come the names have not been changed to IIT-Chennai; University of Chennai; Chennai Inst of Tech.?
