Merit Of Transparent VC Selection Process

The debates on the university education reforms have of late gained momentum as Tribhuvan University (TU) is set to get a new leadership. Academics and concerned stakeholders have stated that appointment of the Vice-Chancellor (VC) based on the political connection has led to the deterioration of the quality of TU's education and credibility. It is widely agreed that the practice of recruiting the key officials through flawed process is unlikely to help end the structural anomalies, plaguing the country's oldest varsity for decades.
