| Anarchy prevails in Jammu University, alleges senior professor | | ‘Replaced as Director IT, successor joins after office hours’ | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 10: A senior professor at University of Jammu has alleged that anarchy is prevalent in the varsity.
In a letter written to JU Registrar, the professor has questioned his replacement and joining of his successor that too without providing him with any prior information.
Professor (Dr) Vibhakar Mansotra, Director, Centre for IT Enabled Services and Management, said another faculty was appointed against the post he was holding.
“As per the letter written by Anik Gupta, to me, he has already joined the office of Registrar on 23th October itself. I fail to understand the urgency of joining the post after the closure of the University at 5:30 pm,” Dr Mansotra pointed out in the letter and a copy of the same is available with Early Times.
“Although, I was apprehending this kind of order, but I thought it might be the wisdom will prevail and such abrupt action may not be taken. But still the University without speculating the repercussions issued the order. It is very unfortunate that if senior Professor of the rank of ‘Dean of a Faculty’ can be humiliated in the meetings in presence of Junior people of the rank of Assistant professors or even below, how can the juniors expect their due respect and dignity in the system”, disappointed Dr Vibhakar has mentioned in the letter.
“Yes, I do not hesitate to admit that what happened the day before the issuance of this order was not in good taste but yes this kind of admission must have been expressed from the other side as well. Now since the University was hell bent to remove me as Director of the Centre for IT, I believe it was obligatory on the part of the University to appoint a person of the equal status as the new Director”, he mentioned, adding that to the best of my knowledge the person who has been appointed as the new Director, is not even eligible even for the post of Assistant Professor in Computer Science and IT in a University/College. “I fail to understand what kind of administration is prevailing in the system?, I would like to reiterate here that the University has not only removed a Professor of Computer Science and IT, from the Post of Director, but a person who is the highly qualified possessing: M.Sc. & M.Phil degrees in Physics; P.G Diploma in Computer Applications; M.Tech in Computer Science (from IIT Delhi) and Ph.D in Computer Science and IT; and has appointed, an ineligible and very poorly qualified person with only B.Tech. degree (i.e. a graduate only) as Director IT”, Dr Mansotra claimed in the letter. |
