A front-page report published in an English daily a few months back highlighted the corrupt practices of the highly educated public university teachers whom we believe to be the intellectuals in our society. But greed in their character transcends all bounds of duty, honour and respect, usually associated with this profession of teaching.
The report was about university teachers being far richer cash-wise than even the ill-reputed, corrupt and bribe-prone engineers of different government departments. The report however did not mention anything about private individual or group coaching given by some university teachers. In this connection, the statement from the University Grants Commission is worth repeating: "Some public university teachers spend more time at the private universities than at their main universities". From this report, it is clear that the corrupt practices are widely known. These teachers lack norms of morality; and so are unfit for the profession. They should not be allowed to continue this unholy practice. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) can also take notice of this.
