I am a bit surprised by the double standard about the nepotism in NC and in KU. "Despite many failures, Girija never promoted Sujata..." (First, I have hard time buying the argument that Girija never promoted Sujata. Even if it is true, then why are we making excuses for Girija if he was a failure?) We can flip the argument for Suresh Sharma "Inspite of the promotion of his daughter, Suresh Sharma succeeded making the KU a brand name.." .. With this, Suresh Sharma still comes out fine, and certainly does not deserve all the name calling. I too talked to some KU graduates and they are not very happy about the letter writing campaign by these former teachers. They all feel that creating a blog to destroy the reputation of KU is a betrayal. The arguments can go both ways, but like Kuian, I too would like such debates to be more about substance than name calling... Still awaiting some answers about: 1. Damodar Gautam and Suresh Sharma's Daughter's qualification versus the ones who got fired. 2. Mr. Bhatta's salary info from KU while being on study leave (plus other unanswered questions.) ST
