Nepotism in Kathmandu University

khaobaadi has mentioned that Kellog School hired someone from Kathmandu University. This and his/her other postings seem to be factually incorrect. khaobaadi doesn't know a single thing about how the academic world works in the Western world, especially in the U.S. 1)Kellog doesn't hire anyone from KU. 2) Everyone can check this faculty list at Kellog: http://www20.kellogg.northwestern.edu/facdir/faclist.asp. There is no one in the list that was in KU before. 3) In the U.S. universities, the dean doesn't make a hiring decision. There is always a committee of faculty members (khaobaadi has to understand one or two things about how the world works). Dean virtually plays no role. 4) If Kellog hires some one, the pay is much higher than what khaobaadi suggests. Don't insult Kellog by comparing with those incompetent people at KU. People posting in this forum should have more responsibility. Readers should be smarter-- don't just believe what people like khaobaadi write without knowing a single thing.
