The first meeting of the committee will be held in the Syndicate Room of the University on Thursday. The registrar, in a letter to the members, has stated that the committee was appointed following various suggestions to review the Students Union Election system.

Members include Cassim Unia, Professor H V Bhavnani, Professor Rumy Mistry, Professor Anil Navle and Professor Nikhil Desai.

Meanwhile, City Youth Congress chief Narendra Ravat and a section of student leaders affiliated with the National Students Union of India (NSUI) have opposed the Committee's appointment.

Taking this as a prelude to cancelling elections, Ravat, Naval Bajaj, Kiran Raj and others said they would launch an agitation if the elections were banned.

Ravat said the University Union was not only a students Union but even had teachers as representatives. The Union elections are held as per the University norms since 1951.
