Guys/Gals: I know a friend of mine joined KU and leaving NTC. He was in the first batch of teachers hired when they started the Engineering division in Tangal and then to Dhulikhel. He was joined by 5 others and all of them were really qualified. My friend was a topper in Isc., broke academic record in Indian Engineering College (MNREC) and was very famous in Nepal when they created the first 'CD-ROM encyclopedia of Nepal' and was inagurated by then Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba. Do you know where all these 6 teachers are now ? As far as I know all but one left the KU within 2 years. My friend left after 9 months. He told me that 'Suresh Raj' is capable of running a 10+2' college but not an University and he is in Education to make money...so I do not see this University going any futher... I hope it does not spoil the academic environments for all the students. Damn!! He was right !! I feel that VC should have a term limit so that new ideas and new people can come in and propser. Besides, if you have a term limit, you will try to introduce something good so that people can remember you legacy. I heard that Suresh Raj Sharma was a 'Realstate Broker' when he started. I am not surprised he is running the University with that mentality. He thinks that 'one student' is a 'one-time' client and will not come to the university again and again....just like a person buying a land. Saroj
