  • Abuses in Recruitment Practices at the University of Jaffna
    DISCRIMINATING AGAINST EXCELLENCE: ABUSES IN RECRUITMENT PRACTICES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF JAFFNA SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS • The Subcommittee for Academic Integrity of the Jaffna University Science Teachers’ Association found blatant, endemic abuse across several university departments and units in the selection of academic and non-academic staff. The root of this abuse is both political and personal patronage which operates at all levels of the system, and an unwillingness of senior professors and the administration to challenge it, and of the UGC to fulfil its responsibilities in the selection of able and independent Council members and in the regulation of the administration of universities • The most prevalent form of abuse documented is in the selection of probationary lecturers (or assistant lecturers), resulting in the most highly qualified candidates such as First Class degree-holders being systematically excluded from consideration or denied positions. • We also found evidence of systematic abuse and political manipulation for non-academic staff appointments for Computer Applications Assistants (CAA) and Labourers. Favours were given to labourer candidates that were denied to highly qualified lecturers whose services the university badly needs. We recommend: 1. That all cases where complaints have been filed be reviewed swiftly and highly qualified applicants that were excluded at interviews be called. To guard against retaliation, applicants who have filed complaints should have their cases heard by a special review board appointed in consultation with the Unions. 2. That independent persons of repute with an appreciation of university values should be appointed to the Council as external members, and student representatives and academic staff must be allowed to review their qualifications.

  • Characterization of Irrigation Water Quality of Chunnakam Aquifer in Jaffna Peninsula
    Tropical Agricultural Research Vol. 23 (3): 237 – 248 (2012) Characterization of Irrigation Water Quality of Chunnakam Aquifer in Jaffna Peninsula A. Sutharsiny, S. Pathmarajah1*, M. Thushyanthy2 and V. Meththika3 Postgraduate Institute of Agriculture University of Peradeniya Sri Lanka ABSTRACT. Chunnakam aquifer is the main lime stone aquifer of Jaffna Peninsula. This study focused on characterization of Chunnakam aquifer for its suitability for irrigation. Groundwater samples were collected from wells to represent different uses such as domestic, domestic with home garden, public wells and farm wells during January to April 2011. Important chemical parameters, namely electrical conductivity (EC), chloride, calcium, magnesium, carbonate, bicarbonate, sulfate, sodium and potassium were determined in water samples from 44 wells. Sodium percentage, Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), and residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC) levels were calculated using standard equations to map the spatial variation of irrigation water quality of the aquifer using GIS. Groundwater was classified based on Chadha diagram and US salinity diagram. Two major hydro chemical facies Ca-Mg-Cl-SO4 and Na-Cl-SO4 were identified using Chadha diagram. Accordingly, it indicates permanent hardness and salinity problems. Based on EC, 16 % of the monitored wells showed good quality and 16 % showed unsuitable water for irrigation. Based on sodium percentage, 7 % has excellent and 23 % has doubtful irrigation water quality. However, according to SAR and RSC values, most of the wells have water good for irrigation. US salinity hazard diagram showed, 16 % as medium salinity and low alkali hazard. These groundwater sources can be used to irrigate all types of soils with little danger of increasing exchangeable sodium in soil.

Recommendations 9 5. Annexes 10 Library Review Report, University of Moratuwa II 1. EXTERNAL REVIEW PROCESS The external review process of libraries is planned to upgrade the university library service and to share good practices without imposing an additional burden on the libraries under review. The aim is to use evidence and data generated and used by the library itself to appraise quality of its services. Greater the reliance of external quality assessment upon the library’s own evidence of self evaluation, greater the prospect that stands will be safeguarded and quality will be enhanced. Purposes of the external review process in libraries are to: (1) safeguard the quality and effectiveness of library services in Sri Lankan universities; (2) facilitate continuous quality improvement; (3) encourage good management of university libraries; (4) instill confidence in a library’s capacity to safeguard the quality and effectiveness of its services, both internally and externally; (5) identify and share good practices in the provision library services; (6) achieve accountability through external quality assessment and a public report; and (7) provide systematic, clear and assessable information on the university library services. Main features of the external review process includes: (1) production of an analytical Self Evaluation Report (SER) by the library staff; (2) review against the vision, mission, goals and objectives contained in the SER and a review visit of 3 days; and (3) publishing the review report with judgments, and the strengths/good practices and weaknesses identified.

    Social Affairs. Vol.1 No.3, 23-32, Fall 2015 Social Affairs: A Journal for the Social Sciences ISSN 2362-0889 (online) www.socialaffairsjournal.com CHANGING UNIVERSITY STUDENT POLITICS IN SRI LANKA: FROM NORM ORIENTED TO VALUE ORIENTED STUDENT MOVEMENTS* Gamini Samaranayake** Political Scientist ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the causes of student political activism in Sri Lankan universities by paying attention to the history of student politics starting from the 1960s when the first traces of such activism can be traced. Towards this end, it makes use of the analytical framework proposed by David Finlay that explains certain conditions under which students may be galvanized to engage in active politics. Analyzing different socio-political contexts that gave rise to these movements, and the responses of incumbent governments to such situations, it concludes that in order to mitigate the risk of youth getting involved in violent politics, it is necessary to address larger structural issues of inequality. Keywords: Student Politics, Violence, University Education, Sri Lanka INTRODUCTION Student politics is a significant phenomenon sense it could be stated that the universities are in University education in Sri Lanka. The barometers of social and political discontent. involvement of students in politics has a long history and has always reflected the When tracing the history of student politics, social and political changes in the country. it is evident that Sri Lanka did not have Consequently current student councils are a single student movement until 1960. highly politicized bodies and the universities However, with the expansion in the number are strong centers of youth led agitation.

An adequate library is not only the basis of all teaching and study; it is the essenal condion of research, without which addions cannot be made to the sum of human knowledge. Real end of intellectual training of any university is not obtaining degrees, but rather making the students “autonomous lifelong learners”. The purpose of the library in our university is to funcon as the driving force in achieving the target of the University by making available the necessary material pertaining to teaching and research.
