| Students suffer as KU’s Sociology faculty lock horns | | `Case sent to VC for perusal’ | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, May 5 (KNS): The internal bickering among senior faculty
members in Kashmir University’s Department of Sociology and Social
Work is taking its toll and the latest victims of it are the third
semester Sociology students.
A group of the students who approached KNS revealed that they have
been ‘intentionally failed’ in one Sociology of Religion paper by a
senior faculty member who wanted to settle score with another faculty
member.
“There is worst bickering going on in our department between two
senior faculty members and one among them was teaching us Sociology of
Religion paper. But to our bad luck the same paper went to our
teacher’s rival who failed us to settle score with her opponent,” the
students alleged.
They said that they have scored good percentage of marks in first two
semesters and also in three papers of the third semester. “How is it
possible that we will score more than 60 percent marks in 13 papers
and will score less than 20 percent in one paper. The senior faculty
member who checked our papers wanted to settle score with her opponent
as both are on loggerheads for long time. But unfortunately we have
been made victims of it,” they alleged.
Appealing the Vice Chancellor and the Registrar to intervene into the
matter, they said, “We have been made victims of politics in the
department. Our precious year would be wasted if immediate steps
aren’t taken.
Sources in the Department told KNS that the faculty member who was
holding headship then had checked the papers. “As she is on
loggerheads with another senior faculty member, she gave minimum marks
to the students to harm the interests of her rival,” sources added.
The Controller Examinations, A M Shah told KNS that the students had
approached him with a complaint. “This issue had come to me and we
have sent the papers of the eligible candidates for re-evaluation to
outside the state. If after re-evaluation, any variation is found, we
will act accordingly,” Shah said.
Asked whether the authorities would relax rules for those candidates
who have scored less than 20 percent and aren’t eligible for
reevaluation, he said, “Let the result of those students come whose
papers been sent outside, then only we will be in a position to
decided.”
The Controller revealed that the file of the case has been sent to the
Vice-Chancellor for perusal.
