(Lanka-e-News - 10.March.2016, 8.40PM) After reading the news report of Lanka e news ,“in much the same way as the Universities of Sri Lanka (SL) must be freed from the grip of the politicians ,so the Universities cannot be the property of each and every Don of the University ,” I thought of writing this column:
Sri Lankan public University problems deeper than your analysis: You need to sack all fake profs and follow international criteria to appoint them: In order to be a real international professor your PhD from world top 100 University, minimum 20 articles in ISI/SCOPUS indexed journals, 10 text books with international publishers and three countries have to appoint you as a Visiting professor. But all these Sri Lankan Professors are jokers and more than 40% University Lecturers are relatives to each others and they give degrees to each other (Husband gives PhD to wife and girlfriend/mistress getting PG degree, sons, daughter and son-in law and daughter- in-law).
President Maithree clean University system and sack fake professors and University mafia system. Some Dept are family trees. Colombo University Arts faculty Economics Dept is a good example. We well know how they recruits and promoted in University Mafia.
First find a person and then advertise according to his/her requirement and send aboard for their friends’ places for PhDs. Go beyond Sri Lankan airport and see International job market. Even in Middle East job market, without PhD from accredited Western University you cannot become even Assistant Lecturer. But in Sri Lanka more than 80% professors do not have PhD.
The countries they (University teachers) go to do higher studies, no person is going to studies: China, Malaysia, Thailand and India now many are doing PhDs locally in their own work places or under friends and lovers. See Colombo University Economics Dept all the recruitment done in outdoor connections and son and his friends also got as lecturers. Even PhD applications outright they rejected at Dept level and only interview called for friends. This happen in all Universities.
See Colombo University Economics Dept all the recruitment done in outdoor connections:
Sirimal Abeyrathne gave Lecturership because he drew diagrams for Famous robber WD Lakshman’s Economics book and later he was given many Scholarships because Sirimal wife has to cook for WD Lakshman’s son who studies in Netherland. Sirimal could not get PhD from Economics dept but finally he was given PhD from Sociology Dept by Lakshmnan’s friends in Free University. Can a person become professor in Economic Dept with Sociology PhD?
Rev. Wimalarathne has second lower but gave Lecturership because Head Economics wife working as teacher in this Rev. Sunday School.
Ranjith Bandra(No.1 robber and rapists) gave Lecturership as a dowry for marring Lakshman’s friend’s daughter.
WD Lakshman’s Son and his many friends gave Lectureship in this dept.
In this way all the recruitment done in wrong way in this Dept
In the report of Lanka e news it was stated “ like how the Universities of SL must be freed from the grip of politicians, so it should not be allowed to be the property of the University Dons .”Indeed this problem has now sunk deeper than what was revealed in the LeN report.

We Sri Lankans, not in our lifetimes, are strangers to bogus titles and qualifications e.g. Gnanassarathe ultra racist is adressed as "venerable", the Kotalawa fraudster is addressed as "deshamniya" etc. Then there was the late "Lord Pundit Professor Doctor Sir" a.k.a. "the needle quack" from Wellawatte who bought his qualifications from questionable sources while himself issuing bogus PhDs from his fly by night "University" at Kalubowila. So this ain't news.
