https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=310621 A statutory requirement compelling a constituent medical college of an autonomous private university to obtain affiliation from another university cannot override the parent university's academic autonomy under its special enactment. The challenged amendment in the medical education law expanded the definition of private medical institutions and made affiliation mandatory, but that regime was confined to admissions and fee regulation and did not authorise interference with the university's power to manage its own constituent college.
