India’s education ministry appears to have hit a snag in its anticorruption campaign. The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the federal government to conduct a review of 44 “deemed universities” that the ministry had stripped of university status last February, report India Today and The Pioneer. A committee appointed by Kapil Sibal, the minister in charge of higher education, in 2009 found that the 44 institutions lacked basic infrastructure, had poor or hardly any faculty members, and were being run like “family fiefdoms.” With the court’s decision, Mr. Sibal has promised to review their cases. The court has ordered the government to submit its report by April 25 for a hearing May 3.
