As I recall my days in Dehradun and transition from my "University of Yesterday" to a humbler but an academically richer and more sincere environment, here's some free advice to University CEOs, Chancellors and Vice Chancellors who would like to put their ventures firmly on a downward spiral:
1. Invest crores on guest houses, cricket grounds and cafeterias but cut corners heavily on faculty resources. For example, provide office furniture as in the pictures below to department heads (and even lesser to junior faculty - if you give them offices at all).
2. Make sure you establish an environment wherein your non-academic administration and HR enjoy a higher privilege and sense of importance and authority than your teaching faculty. The teaching faculty is always expendable (what do they do anyway? - everyone knows that anyone can teach!) and when attrition happens (which surely will if you follow my advice sincerely), then you can have more high level meetings involving non-academic administration and HR to sit and opine on why that might be happening!
On that note, "mmmuuah!" sweethearts! Phir milenge! Theek hai 🙂?
