Engineering faculty of BUIT, Barkhatullah University, are in trouble due to the current indecision on extending their tenure. Many of the college faculty are on contract or are working as a visiting faculty and their contract would lapse this week. A proposal to extend their tenure has been sent to Chancellor Prof Ravindra Jain. Students are agitated over this but no result has come out as of now.
Our View: Some days back in Manthan 2009 the CM had taken decision to open 14 new colleges in the State but as we see here the status of current ones is grim. Now that we see this, their decision to open new colleges can be seen as a way of earning (not direct but indirect) and pleasing a few others, which they could not have done if they had allocated the funds and energy for the existing colleges.
