Mangalore University to investigate PhD irregularities

Mangalore University (MU) will conduct a departmental inquiry into alleged PhD irregularities in its social work department. The inquiry, led by the registrar (administration), follows a syndicate meeting on March 12. The investigation will include faculty from a private college linked to the irregularities. MU aims to protect the academic progress of current PhD students during the inquiry. This decision comes after media reports raised concerns about the university's reputation. A previous in-camera inquiry was conducted two months ago, but its findings have not been disclosed.
