Expressing displeasure with Tribhuvan University's process of appointing deans and campus chiefs to meritorious candidates, the ruling UML has pressed for division. UML General Secretary Shankar Pokhrel has publicly accused that 'an ugly drama of meritocracy has been staged to ban certain ideological groups in Trivima' and said that the current process should be stopped.
Pokharel alleges that vice-chancellor Kesharjung Baral has customized the appointment criteria and formation of the selection and recommendation committee. At this time, VC Kesharjung Baral is engrossed in the plan to select the academic leadership of the university to represent the power of the time in the name of meritocracy. He has dressed it up as a meritocracy," Pokharel wrote on the social network Facebook, "the same drama is being patronized and praised by the Maoist supporters who are close to him."
If he wanted to walk in meritocracy, VC Baral would not have any interest or interference in who should be placed in the selection committee. He could have led the selection to the Rector, who is in charge of academic leadership, or he could have prepared a roster of academics and selected the members of the selection committee based on a lottery, but he did not do both of those things," he wrote.
He said that the 'ugly play done in the name of meritocracy' should be stopped and the entire work should be carried out in an open and transparent manner keeping in mind the long-term interests of the university.
TRI has started the process of dean appointment in 8 faculties including medical, engineering, management, science, agriculture, forestry, humanities and pedagogy. But UML is angry after the selection of the recommendation committee is short of professors. Vice-Chancellor Baral has been arguing that those who rank first should be appointed on the basis of merit. According to the source, the number of emalenikat professors in the first number of recommendations is zero.
There is a difference of opinion within the executive council whether to appoint one of the three recommended or the first number on merit. The executive council has a majority of professors from the UML side. The procedure of appointment criteria and recommendation and selection committee was made by the executive council and the process was started.
Former Vice-Chancellor Kedarbhakta Mathema said that there will be no improvement in the education sector as long as there is political interference and partisanship. "It was not good for the political leadership to talk about the share in public," he said. He said that the Vice-Chancellor should be given the freedom to choose his own team including Rector, Registrar, Dean. "I heard that there was no consensus even within the executive council," he said, "the vice-chancellor should be appointed on the basis of merit, even if the executive is reorganized." Officials have been warned that they will be barred from entering the university. The team headed by Aneraswa University District Committee President and Swawiu Secretary Siddhant Bhatt met Vice Chancellor Baral, Rector Khadg KC and Registrar Kedar Rizal on Sunday and demanded that deans should be appointed in UML quota as well. was At that time, they have given a warning that they will obstruct the university admission by proceeding with the appointment process in a way that is not satisfactory.
ANERASWA has placed a black banner in the offices of the Vice Chancellor, Rector and Registrar, demanding immediate appointment of the Dean. An employee said that instead of communicating with Pashupati Adhikari, the head of the Directorate of Student Welfare and the coordinator of the negotiation committee, the student team went to meet the officials. "Initially, they said that they will stop the policy meeting. The official replied that it was posted on the Prime Minister's request, stop it," said the employee, "Then UML threatened that the official will not be allowed to enter the university if he does not get the quota for the dean appointment."
President of Aneraswaviyu Terri District Committee Bhatt admitted that 'if you do not work in the interest of the university, we will not allow you to enter'. We went to discuss our demands. We have asked that the dean should be appointed according to the criteria. The criteria does not mean that first number should be done on merit itself. The 3 recommended people can do whatever they want," he said. "We also have other demands. They did not listen to the demand. If the demand is not met, we can stop it.'
During the tenure of former Vice-Chancellor Dharmakant Baskota, the fraternal organization of the Congress, Navy Sangh, also blocked officials from entering the university with various demands and locked them for more than 400 days. But at that time ANERASWAVIU opposed it and even broke the lock.
Samik Badal, Central President of ANERASWA, has also publicly opposed the process of giving appointments based on merit. Like UML General Secretary Pokharel, he criticized Vice-Chancellor Baral and asked him to "stop the art of choosing faces close to him by forming a selection committee of his own choice in the name of meritocracy". He says that ANERASWA is in favor of transparent meritocracy.
Other UML leaders, activists, close professors, students have also opposed Vice Chancellor Baral's statement of appointing the first numbered person on social media. The UML side argues that Baral himself was number two in merit when the vice-chancellor was appointed and now if the first-ranking dean is to be appointed, he should leave his post. Baral was appointed as Vice-Chancellor by the then Prime Minister and Chancellor Pushpa Kamal Dahal.
When the UML started criticizing the vice chancellor, the opposition Maoists came to the rescue. Ramesh Malla, the personal secretary of Maoist Chairman Dahal and the former president of All Revolutionaries, has accused that the university is being tried to be a recruiting center for UML workers by appointing officials from their pockets. "When appointing rector and registrar, UML put pressure so much that it took two months for the chancellor to appoint them based on meritocracy when the main leader of the coalition did not cooperate," he also wrote on social media.
Congress-Maoist during the appointment of Vice-Chancellor and UML-Maoist during the appointment of rector and registrar. According to Malla, UML did not raise any objection when a person favorable to them was appointed on the basis of meritocracy. "Recently, there was no opposition to the appointment of the Controller of Joint Examinations because the candidates who are suitable there are given the first merit, but the dean has been obstructing the appointment after seeing that their interests will not be fulfilled," he said, "Not only the university, UMA General Secretary's statement confirms that the meritocracy implemented in the university has given those who are not good in all parts of the state, who are creating corruption, chaos and chaos.'
Other Maoist leaders, close professors and staff, professors and students of the ruling Congress have also stood in favor of Merit. Emalenikat professors have been absent from executive council meetings. They are also of the opinion that the executive should arrange for the appointment of anyone among those recommended. 8 deans and 18 campus chief posts are vacant since last June. Although it was said to appoint the dean and the campus head since last October, it was held back saying that they would do it all at once.
Vice-Chancellor Baral says that it is becoming challenging to end the quotas in appointments for years. "Last week, we appointed 6 co-examination controllers from the number one," he said. said "I am not the only one who makes decisions in the executive council. There is a team of 6 people," he said, "the team decides." Trivial has convened a policy meeting on Thursday. One of the recommended professors complained that the discussion in the previous meeting was about how to distribute posts rather than what policy to pass. There has been a lot of pressure to share. If the first number is appointed, the law will be established," he said, "otherwise, the university will fall into the old cycle of division again." Deans are members of the assembly. But in the absence of appointment, there is a situation where participation is required. Executive Council sources say that the dean will be appointed only after Thursday's policy meeting.
