However, then came in the faculty emails. All of them strongly disapproved the "negotiated grand viva" scheme. Personally, I think their concerns are totally legitimate. Makes no sense to make us mug up answers to particular questions. But the most surprising part of this entire saga was VC's mail berating faculty members who are opposed to his proposal.
Quoting him, "extremely unhappy with the attitude of teachers" like wow that's some really harsh words to say in public in front of all students
"discussed in the faculty meeting" Truly doubt that he mentioned all the details. Otherwise, we would have never seen these mail wars.
Talking about CAS promotion interviews was also a bit of a stretch. It really seems he is going after the faculty.
His final statement of "do whatever they think right in their judgment" perfectly indicates his new my way or highway attitude to everyone's legitimate concerns.
All of this is the backdrop of first post-covid protests in NUJS. More and more people are dissatisfied by his actions, not just limited to guards and students but now it extends to teaching faculty as well. At the same time, he keeps on doubling down.
As for the VC, his days are numbered. He is trying to gather brownie points to get his tenure extended, but ig is inviting a massive student protest supported by faculty. Regardless of the grand viva, his actions are very chaotic and Tughlaq type
Dear All,
I am extremely unhappy with the attitude of teachers who are raising their concerns about the quality of education at NUJS for 10% of the course evaluated by taking Viva on basic concept of each subject. About 90% marks are in the sole discretion of the Faculty members. Moreover it was discussed in the Faculty meeting. The proceedings was circulated but no one raised any concern till implementation is in the process.
I think this process will help students to face interviews in the recruitment process as some recruiting teams opined that many students lacking fundamentals of subjects though aware of current state of affairs. I have experienced in the CAS promotion interviews of few teachers that they are also not known the fundamentals and on enquairy came to know that those fundamentals are not taught in the class. I will tomorrow issue Notice to all teachers to submit me short questions on fundamental concepts of the respective subjects, which may be 10 to maximum 20 questions. I believe that in each subject some sentences and concepts require to memorize and to remember whole life. Those who will think they will not accept the proposal they can do whatever they think right in their judgment. For the best interest of the majority and average students, I will go by my discussions with the representatives of the
students.
My best wishes to all of you.
