Dear libraJi: I agree with many of the points you mention. I do, however, want to put things in perspective. TU, of which I am a product of, does not just have 1, 2, or 3 bad apples. In fact, the half of the teachers never show up because, most of them are either busy consulting or doing politics for various parties. The other one-half are busy guffing and are not that good in their job. A few didicated ones are frustrated like you and me. That is, TU has many more Thapas. But, calling these men (Sharm and Adhikari) thugs can hardly make things better. What do we call then Prachand, Girija, Gyanedra, Joshi, Deuba and all the money making NGO folks and leaders? In fact I would be very interested in seeing the qualification of Damodar, Suresh Sharma's daughter, and the vita of the person who charged nepotism in the paper (the person who was fired after 7 years of service.) The charge was brought out publicly and so it would be nice to see their vita too. Let's judge their qualification here in public. I am not saying that these men have not made any mistake. Probably they have and they will, but calling them thugs is hardly justifiable. Save KU.. Yes... but from going down hill and from politics.. ST
