DISCRIMINATING AGAINST EXCELLENCE: ABUSES IN RECRUITMENT PRACTICES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF JAFFNA
Summary of the
Report
The Subcommittee for Academic Integrity,
Jaffna University Science Teachers’ Association
Introduction
The
Subcommittee for Academic Integrity found blatant, endemic abuse across several
university departments and units in the selection of academic and non-academic
staff. The root of this abuse is both
political and personal patronage which operates at all levels of the system,
and an unwillingness of senior professors and administration to challenge it.
The
most prevalent form of abuse documented is in the selection of probationary
lecturers (or assistant lecturers), resulting in the most highly qualified
candidates such as First Class degree-holders being systematically excluded
from consideration or denied positions.
The
culpability of the University Grants Commission in making political
appointments to the Council and then being unwilling to fulfil its statutory
mandate to regulate the administration of universities is very much part of the
problem.
The Political Nexus and ‘Pre-council
Meetings’
The
governing Councils, especially the external members, the majority who are
appointed by the UGC (which in practice acts as a rubber stamp for those in
political authority) have been disinclined to act on academic principle and in
the best interests of the University. The selection of the Vice Chancellor has
largely depended on them. In Jaffna a political party which works with the
current government, was given a monopoly over the appointment of external
council members, although by statute the responsibility is the UGC’s. That
party keeps a tight control over them, by summoning them for pre-council
meetings before each monthly council meeting. Unfortunately the internal
members have gone along without protest and, consequently, few councillors know
or care about the rules. A powerful core of internal members is served well by
this system and the others take the easy way out by playing along. Academics
who fall in line enjoy unchallenged arbitrary power in their own spheres,
especially over appointments to the academic staff.
MALFEASANCE IN ACADEMIC RECRUITMENT
Zoology
The 1stClass Honours
candidate, who won the
Sir Sangarapillai Pararajasingam Award for best performance in Zoology Special with GPA (Grade Point Average) 3.72,
was rejected for the post of probationary lecturer in Zoology on 14th October
2013. The schedule given to the selection board unaccountably failed to flag her
distinctive Award. The candidate given the appointment was about the weakest of
the eleven interviewed, having a 2nd Upper with GPA 3.44. At the interview,
the Vice Chancellor had stopped the First Class candidate’s presentation
after 2 minutes, but gave the selected candidate wide berth to present herself.
Computer Science
Four candidates with first class were
interviewed for probationary lecturer in Computer Science on 8th May
2012, having GPAs as high as 3.80. However, the selection board ruled, “No selection is made since the presentation
skill, subject knowledge and overall performance of the candidates are not
satisfactory”. They did not apply again.
The candidate selected at the subsequent
selection on 12th November 2013, where just two were interviewed,
had graduated with a 2nd Upper in June 2001 but worked as Assistant
Network Manager Grade II in the Computer Unit for nine years, without any
marked academic attainment. How fresh first class graduates lacked subject
knowledge is one of those unanswered questions. Circumstances make it look as though the selected candidate was
smuggled in as Lecturer at the very moment the most eligible young first
classes had been shooed off and credible applicants had dried up.
FACULTY
OF ENGINEERING
An engineer
who entered the University of Peradeniya in 1982 and completed his PhD at the
University of Moratuwa in 2008 was appointed as Senior Lecturer Grade 1 in 2012
without the mandatory 6 years experience after obtaining the required postgraduate
qualification. Another applicant rejected twice for the same position was
admitted to the University of Moratuwa in 1981, but completed his engineering
studies at University of Madras owing to the 1983 violence, and in 1995 obtained
his PhD in Coastal Engineering from Queen’s University, Canada, which is an
acclaimed leader in the field. He also had amply fulfilled the required
experience after his doctorate and met all requirements for the post. The
second time the Selection Board decisively stated that his ‘subject knowledge,
teaching skill, research ability and overall performance are not satisfactory’.
But this engineer not selected has three refereed publications, while the
selected engineer has little to match this.
Sociology
A
first class graduate in Sociology from the University of Peradeniya, with a PhD
in Anthropology (a related subject) from the Johns Hopkins University in the US
(ranked among the top 20 Universities in the world) applied for a position in
Sociology at the University of Jaffna. Although he was shortlisted for the
interview, the SAR Academic made a note that this candidate could be dropped
because the position required a PhD in Sociology, while the applicant’s was in
Anthropology. The regulations are clear that anyone with qualifications
appropriate to the position in a relevant discipline must be called and the
selection board must rule. In fact it is hard to draw a dividing line between
Sociology and Anthropology.
English Language Teaching
A
First Class candidate from Peradeniya who had served as temporary lecturer in
English Literature for 1 ½ years applied for an ELTC post. The interview was
fixed a year after he had applied, two months after he left for doctoral
studies in the US in August 2011. He was refused an online interview. He
applied next time and the interview was fixed for 17th April 2012
while his academic sessions were on and was refused a postponement by a month
when his vacation began. Parallel to this (on the same date) interviews were
also fixed for Law. Since Category 1 candidates (1st Class or 2nd
Upper) turned up for neither, Category 2 (2nd Lower candidates) were
summoned for interviews on 15th May. A 2nd Lower was
selected for English. But one of the two Category 2 law candidates who turned
up for the interview was told that the interview was postponed. The Law
interview was held on 24th May and the candidate absent earlier was
chosen. By this time the 1st Class candidate in English who was
refused a postponement was present in Jaffna as he had already told the
University.
The ELT position was advertised again in April 2013 and
interviews were held in October 2013. The Peradeniya First Class who applied
again from the USA and appealed for an on-line interview was not granted it.
The schedule failed to mention the three merit prizes listed in his
application. A First Class in English Literature from Jaffna who faced the same
interview was rejected, while three Second Class (Upper Division) candidates
from her batch were selected.
Financial
Management
A
First Class candidate from Jaffna University’s 2012 batch with GPA 3.63 who won
the Securities and Exchange Commission Gold Medal was rejected and a candidate
from the same batch with GPA 3.49 was chosen. The schedule given to the
Selection Board did not flag the first candidate’s Gold Medal. Further the
selected candidate had her credentials inflated in the schedule to have worked
as Temporary Lecturer from Apr. 2012 whereas she was not given the temporary
lecturer appointment until May 2013. In addition, the leading candidate who was
not selected states in her complaint to the Council that the interview was held
with the Chairman of the Selection Board (Vice Chancellor), though absent
shortly after the beginning of the interview, had signed the selection
document. A fundamental rights appeal has been filed in the Supreme Court by
this candidate.
Commerce
In
the 19th Feb. 2014 interview the applications of the First Class
candidate with GPA 3.63 and others with
a BBA degrees were turned down contrary to the rules as Business management is
a discipline relevant to Commerce. Three First Class candidates interviewed with
GPA 3.55 and above (two from the 2012 batch) were dropped, while among the
three selected were a 2nd Class Upper with GPA 3.19 from the 2012
batch and another 2nd Upper who graduated in 2000 and obtained an MA
in Planning from Jaffna in 2009.
Sports
Science: The Case of the Preferred Candidate
A candidate
with a First Class Master’s in Physical Education from Annamalai University who
was attached to the University’s Physical Education Unit and a Second Class
Master’s from another Indian University who had been a sports master for 4
years were interviewed for Lecturer in Sports Science on 30th March
2012. No one was selected. But about two weeks later the Vice Chancellor took
the unusual step of making the 2nd Class a Temporary Lecturer for
one whole year at a time the academic year was about to end.
When
the position was advertised next time both candidates applied. The First Class
candidate was without prior notice summoned by the SAR for an interview
involving a presentation at 12.00 noon while the interviews were in progress.
The Second Class candidate was selected. The Vice Chancellor cancelled the
appointment after the First Class candidate pointed out the irregularities.
These candidates together with others were re-interviewed on 10th October 2013 and
were all found unsuitable. How does one explain such volatility of selection
boards?
NON-ACADEMIC
APPOINTMENTS
·
The March 2009 list of selections for Computer
Applications Assistants (CAA) drawn from a mainly EPDP list forwarded through
the Ministry of Higher Education was prefaced with the Scheme of Recruitment
which claimed candidates were sought by open advertisement.
·
Issue of appointments to selected CAA
candidates was deferred in June 2011 though the Council recorded that the
procedures were correctly followed. Later this became an indefinite deferral citing
a letter from the Secretary of the Ministry of Higher Education. The same drama was repeated in 2012.
·
Ministry of Higher Education sent a list
of candidates for the post of Labourer and they were told to obtain their
qualifications and complete their applications. On 8th July, the
Ministry telephoned the University to withdraw 30 names from the list already
given and to include 23 names from a fresh list. The schedule for candidates in
the new list was prepared in record time and interview was held on 10th
July. The following day, the Selection Board interviewed five absentees and acceded
to a further request by a candidate to be considered in absentia. The selection
was passed the same day (11th) by a Special Meeting of the Council.
Compare this with the treatment of well-qualified
applicants from abroad for academic posts whose requests for on-line interview
or adjustment of date were never considered.
Recommendations
1. We
recommend that all cases of irregularities that have come to light be reviewed swiftly
and highly qualified applicants that were excluded at interviews be called. To
guard against retaliation, applicants who have filed complaints should have
their cases heard by a special review board appointed in consultation with the
Unions.
2. Independent
persons of repute with an appreciation of university values should be appointed
to the Council as external members, and student representatives and academic
staff must be allowed to review their qualifications. Internal members should
be advised to resign their positions and seek a fresh mandate from their
constituencies in the Faculties. This means starting on a fresh slate where the
more independent internal members are not inhibited from speaking out; indeed
part of their new mandate must be speaking out against cases of abuse or
political manipulation.
