Goa, July 29 -- In a fiery session of the Goa Legislative Assembly, lawmakers from across party lines hit out at the Goa University Act of 1984, calling it "colonial in nature" and ill-suited to the modern academic and administrative needs of the state's premier higher education institution.

Raising a Calling Attention Motion, MLAs criticized the Act for lacking legislative audits, elected representation, and civil society consultation. "The Goa University today operates like an island of unaccountability," said opposition leader Viresh Borkar. Legislators demanded a new Goa University Act, one that includes comprehensive reforms, five-year performance audits, stakeholder reviews, and stronger oversight mechanisms.
