It is appalling that Goa Governor PS Sreedharan Pillai chose to grab that so-called Honoris Causa PhD degree from an unrecognized and little known Logos University International which is an unaccredited private university in Florida founded only in 2006. It was incumbent for Governor Pillai to ascertain the credentials and repute of that University as he is duty bound to safeguard the solemnity and sanctity of his very high position as Governor and also Chancellor of Goa University. Logos University is not recognised by our Ministry of Human Resource Development or University Grants Commission. Infact there are very stringent guidelines about such foreign universities. Governor Pillai should have sought the advice of the Vice-Chancellor of Goa University. An inquiry by the Ministry of Home affairs is needed on this issue since it's a foreign university not recognized by the government of India. Our central intelligence agencies need to probe if this foreign university has given similar honorary degrees to any other governors and politicians in a bid to influence them.
