Sudurpaschim University has appointed deans in five faculties and filled several other vacant leadership posts, including directors for two centres and the principal of its central campus. The appointments were made by the university executive council following a recommendation from the officials’ recommendation committee, university information officer Nabin Bam said. The university’s central office is in Mahendranagar, Kanchanpur.
Appointments follow selection process
Bam said the appointments came after the university completed an open competition and various stages of selection. The executive council made the final decisions based on recommendations from the committee responsible for recommending officials. The announcement covers leadership roles across five faculties, as well as posts connected to two university centres and the central campus.
The process therefore involved both a recommendation stage and a decision by the executive council. The university has not provided further details in the information available about the individual selection stages, the number of candidates, or the criteria used to assess applicants. The names of the newly appointed officials and the faculties and centres they will lead were also not included in the information provided.
Vacancies covered several university posts
The appointments extend beyond the five faculty deanships. The university has also named directors for two centres and a principal for the central campus, filling vacant posts in those areas. The announcement does not specify the names of the centres or provide additional details about the responsibilities associated with each appointment.
Deans, centre directors and a campus principal hold distinct leadership roles within a university. In this case, the appointments bring together faculty-level positions and posts linked to university centres and the central campus under a single selection process. The university’s statement, as reported by Khabarhub and Ratopati, identifies the range of positions filled but does not give further information about the appointees.
University confirms council decision
The executive council’s decision followed the committee’s recommendations after the open competition and selection stages were completed, according to Bam. The information confirms the route through which the appointments were made, but does not state when the officials will take up their duties, how long their terms will last, or whether additional vacant posts remain.
The appointments mark the filling of multiple leadership vacancies at Sudurpaschim University, including deanships in five faculties and senior posts at two centres and the central campus. Further information about the appointees and their portfolios was not included in the announcement described by the university information officer.
