| Dreaming to become VC, HoD takes staff ‘hostage’ | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, July 18: Hoping to become a Vice Chancellor by forcing her staff to attend campus during closure of universities in J&K, one Head of the Department at the University of Kashmir here is “trying everything possible including violation of law to realize her dream.”
Sources said the said professor, who dreams of being appointed as a VC, in the coming months has been “trying to appease the government but in a wrong manner.”
Sources said in a bid to show off that she is “a disciplined head, she is violating the guidelines” laid down by the Union Government and the Higher Education Department that the colleges and varsities would remain shut till July 31.
Sources said the HoD thought that by making the teaching staff to attend campus during lockdown would send a “good message about her competence and thus she passed new orders asking staff to attend campus.”
Sources said the said HoD asked some of the students to help her by sending her messages that classes be campus.
Sources said while the HoD was hoping to get rewarded for such acts of holding campus classes, the government has taken a serious note of her misconduct.
“How can she have any excuse to run any sort of classes in campus when government has directed them to keep campuses shut,” said a KU official on the condition of anonymity.
Sources said the matter has come to the notice of the government of Jammu and Kashmir and also the Kashmir University authorities and that an explanation was likely to be sought from her for defiance of the orders.
Talking to Early Times a senior official on the condition of anonymity said the matter had come to his notice and that it was being looked into. Sources said she has been asked not to resort to any such diktats which violate government norms.
Despite repeated attempts the said HoD couldn’t be contacted for comments.
It is pertinent to mention that Covid-19 cases have been on a rise in Kashmir and that the government recently issued directives asking the educational institutions to remain shut. |
