Chairman seeks IIMB society help

HRD minister Murali Manohar Joshi may have jumped the gun by suggesting that IIM-Bangalore had decided to accept the fee-cut. But the matter appears no closer to resolution with the IIMB board of governers’ chairman S M Datta deciding to refer the issue to the IIMB Society.

A meeting of the Society is, however, unlikely to be held this week, given that the society rules require a minimum 15-day notice to be given to the members. This effectively puts the meeting in early May. Society members include donors and members of the IIMB board of the governors.
”Yes we have received the communication from the chairman. Now it is left to the Society to take a decision,”

It maybe recalled that the board of governors of the institute had decided to allow Mr. Datta’s decision is available, there is a view that Mr. Datta wanting to play safe (the faculty of IIM, Calcutta have voiced their opposition to the IIMC chairman of Board of Governor, Mr. Yogi ‘s Deveshwar decision to go along with the ministry’s decision) has chosen to make the Society take a call on the issue.
