(Lanka-e-News -09.March.2016, 11.30PM) While expressing my gratitude to Lanka e news for publishing the traits and qualities of the University lecturers and professors ,might I be permitted to make some more revelations in that connection...
It is a fact that a majority of the University lecturers today go to India and China to secure their M.A. and Ph.D. The theses written by some of them do not even run into 100 pages. A strange feature is , some of them who go to India and spend three years to obtain their Ph.D. and return have no proficiency in English or Hindi. Those who go to China to obtain their qualifications , and return to SL too are in the same boat. They do not know Chinese language or English. It is therefore deducible that these Dons who went to India and China to secure their M.A. and Ph.D. have followed their studies and done the research apparently in Sinhala using sly avenues..
Those lecturers and professors who have secured their M.A. and Ph.D in India and China do not even reveal their research subjects . The main reason for this is , they have submitted to those Universities the research that was done here in Sinhala by someone else .
Robbing the research done by others this way has become a practice in Universities. There are also reports of lecturers robbing the research done by students.
The hidden truth pertaining to Professor Mayura Samarakoon of the social science department of Sri Jayawardenapura University has now come to light. In the Satyagaaraya book of Sannasgala a teacher, the books robbed by the professor is mentioned.
This professor has for his M.A. submitted a dissertation presented two years before by a student for the B.A. degree. When Sannasgala showed this book and questioned the professor , the latter turned nervous and clueless. The student has written it based on the notes given to him in the class. The student said , the same notes are there in the professor’s book too.
In the book of this culprit professor ,the first part of basic social science in the seventh paragraph represents the robbed first principles of criminology contained in the first chapter of the book written by famous professor Nandasena Rathnapala .
In the book titled social behavior and personality published in the name of this professor , what is contained in the book titled ‘Sigmund Freud and mental analysis table’ written by professor Roland Abeypala had been copied word to word. Yet in the associated books , nothing is mentioned of the book of Abeypala .The latter’s book was published in 2009 , whereas the culprit professor has claimed his book was published in 2007 , which has been clearly proved as a falsehood.
At the substantiating committee, a group of lecturers pointed out this robbery of the professor . Yet the Vice Chancellor at that time , and the present Vice Chancellor who was in the administrative board then suppressed this robbery .
It has came to light that a book published by a lecturer of Jayawardenapura University and a female lecturer of Kelaniya University was copied from the social science introductory book , and ‘family and society’ book written by Hemantha Kumara , a lecturer at the Ruhunu University social science division. Lecturers of Sri Jayawardena University and Kelaniya University later asked pardon from Hemantha Kumara for the wrong they committed.
If one does a stroll around the University , another corrupt methodology adopted when writing such books can be noted. On the subject he/ she wishes to write , the students are nominated to write on that subject and after transferring to a CD cassette it is taken into the possession of the lecturer . Later when the student sees the book coming out in the name of the lecturer , the student has only one choice , silently say and sigh , ‘ this is what we wrote.’
When books are being prepared for the external degree courses too , this robbery is prevalent. These perfidious professors spend large sums of money to publish the writings and dissertations of students , in the form of books in their names, and make those compulsory for exams.
It is therefore high time ,not only the pressures and influence exerted by politicians , but even the mafia ring of professors and lecturers must be rooted out from Universities once and for all.
