9 Responses to Jaffna University Teachers Question Closure Of Universities

9 Responses to Jaffna University Teachers Question Closure Of Universities

 Colombo Telegraph

  1. The UGC chairman is all-powerful,having endeared herself to the President,by ‘decorating’ him and his brother,with honorary degrees.
    She need not,therefore,explain her actions.
    This too,is also to appease the President.
    If students or teachers disobey,they will be arrested by the army and taken to distant camps for ‘rehabilitation’.

    • Hats off to these Jaffna University dons!
      Wish the southern SINGHALA universities had half the courage to stand up for ACADEMIC FREEDOM!
      Most of the lecturers in the Sri Lanka university system are themselves an ignorant, swabasha educated (Sinhala or Tamil) lot of frogs in the well.
      The university lecturers have no standards and most themselves do not know the meaning of “academic ethics or freedom”, so what do you expect from the poor students?

  4. Sri Lankan Universities are full of jokers and out door connection based lecturers appointments. Therefore they do not talk about country’s problems. Even if you open it nothing going to happen. Check Colombo University Arts faculty famous family dept (Economics) run by grandfather Emeritus and how his all kins and kiths and henchmen became professors. Sons daughters, uncles..etc. Even retired people how still working in contract positions.

    • I went to the University at 30 years ago. At that time,I knew how Idiots were appointed simply because of political affiliations or the tentative candidate was Fcuked by the Senior Lecturer.
      So, all it is about “CONTACTS” you have.

      • which university did you go to Jim. We are talking of academic institution here. If you went to any of the srilankan universities 30 years ago you must be well educated, let see whether your name is in any of the university’s graduation list.

  6. “The environment has lost its academic character…” .Its administrative character too.Recent Recruitment of minor employees shows that:They called for CV from List of candidates from the Ministry of HE.The closing date was 19th July 2013.But they had the interview on 10th& 11th July 2013. Some candidates from that list informed verbally by EPDP local area leaders.Others were omitted.The selected people got the appointment. No protests due to fear except a statement from non academic trade union.
    They should know that they are violating University Act passed by Parliament& Goverment/UGC Circulars.
    A concerned Academic.
