Meeting with VC

Yesterday the faculty had a meeting with our new VC.

Suffice to say that we all very really truly officially became the slave to the THES ranking….

The VC said his only KPI is to ensure that UM is in the top 200 within the next 2 years and later in top 100.

Everybody must have a PhD, conduct world-class research and publish in top journals.

Social responsibility? What is it? Uh uh not important coz the nothing is mentioned about it the THES ranking criteria.

Your students? Huh, what about your students? Yeah yeah be an excellent teacher whatever, just make sure you do your research between classes and meetings and marking and filling in your ISO forms and ‘retreat’ and seminars and conferences and workshops. and don’t forget to write about your research. Apa, susah sangat ke nak menulis artikel and buku?

Must recruit the First Class students as our staff because we believe that they can do better research than those who got 2nd Class Upper and joined various activities. Never mind if they don’t mingle with other people or they are bad teachers or used to be so kiasu when they were students - we want them!

The point is this : To hell with everything else. MUST IMPROVE OUR RANK.

*sigh*

Was utterly disappointed. Have never been THIS disappointed about UM before. Never thought we are supposed to be THIS shallow. Where is the spirit?

Maybe I should also migrate to Australia soon…

Yes Yus, i found out that a lot of doctors are contemplating leaving PPUM and join the private. Skrg after masters doktor kena buat PhD dulu baru boleh buat sub-speciality, giler ke hapa? Ko tak rasa nonsense gile ke benda tuh? Dah dekat pencen baru jadi subspecialist, time tu gomen dah hilang doktor2 pencen ni yg boleh move to private. Bodoh banghal punya idea!

Mizi - go to asnida.fotopages.com. Long time no hear from you…baby sihat?
