6.2. Asymmetry in dealing with subordinates

It is sad to note some of the VCs have granted salaries in the range of 0.5 to 0.7 million to junior professors and 0.2 to 0.35 million salaries to senior far more experienced professors on ethnic grounds (Tan, Sharma 2013). “This is ridiculous to see that those who fail to compete on merit are appointed with even higher salaries in administration”, said R1. A few VCs have been noticed awarding foreign scholarships to their own race fellows and barring others to undertake HE even at their expenses in local universities. R1 further said, “I personally believe that researchers are not taken into confidence when policies are designed”. R4 shared his observation as
“they grant brand new cars to their executives and force the actual professors to park their private vehicles outside the campus. The executives come in chauffer driven official cars at 9 to 10 a.m.and leave at 5 p.m. forcing others to come at 8.30 a.m.and go home at 9 p.m. ”.
Courts give no justice as they use the official money to hire expensive lawyers to knock down complainants. BGs or Senate is competent authority to hear complaints against the VCs, but this conglomerate is even worse in attitude. “I feel cold on the mindset which is driving the education sector”, R1 shared. It was also reported that industrialists convene interviews to shortlist private institute executive to appoint as VCs in public sector universities. Media says “education” will bring the social and economic change but cult executives are intended to enforce corporate culture. Many anchors, journalists and writers also help racists to accomplish their campaign. They grant scholarships on ethnic grounds to fortify their own race under strategic policies. R3 called it a disappointing situation as he added, “I see many states promoting their own communities within the state. We could not transform ourselves into a single united nation in 67 years due to these pathetic practices which continue to date”.
It is time to fix the millennium development goals. To keep the social fabric intact it is time to transform education for sustainable development which moving to privatization. You cannot ask a criminal to pay you money to take advice for abandoning the kidnapping or target killing profession. Education is light with which you see good and bad. An illiterate person is a blind man who needs societal support to see. There is no dispute on the importance of the commercial entrepreneurship in the socio-economic development of society, but education business would limit the access of actors who play the live drama. Universities have been incubation center of innovations not business. Business institutes and networks tried to apply the entrepreneurial academic model in Pakistan, but it failed due to racial and corrupt practices. Forget the evil and investigate the cause, what practices do not allow the proven ideas succeed in Pakistan.
