BANGALORE, JAN. 18. The local inquiry committees constituted every year by the Syndicate of Bangalore University to consider renewal of affiliation or applications for fresh affiliation of courses offered by colleges in its jurisdiction will have a new structure from the coming academic year. A closed-door meeting of the Syndicate on Tuesday decided to do away with the practice of appointing its own members as chairpersons of the committees, according to sources in the university. They said the members were unanimous that the practice was illogical as committee reports were submitted to the Syndicate itself. The Syndicate members "audited" or considered these reports and granted affiliations. "It was like sitting in judgment over your own report," the sources and added that there was hardly any scope for fair assessment. Hence, the Syndicate decided to offer the posts of chairpersons of committees to deans of faculties in the university or senior professors instead of Syndicate members. The committees would have teachers and subject experts as members. The committee members commence their annual visit to the colleges during January or February and study whether the recommendations made by them during the previous year have been implemented and whether the courses offered by them deserve affiliation. The subjects get affiliation only after the Syndicate's nod. The sources said there were 18 deans of faculty in the university and only one of them, Prof. Ashwathappa of the Department of Commerce and Management, was a member of the Syndicate by virtue of being the senior-most dean. In today's meeting he offered not to chair any committee "keeping with the spirit of the deliberations," the sources said. They said in no other university in the State members of the Syndicate chaired the committees.
Land
The Syndicate decided to give two acres land adjoining "Kalagrama" to the Department of Kannada and Culture to set up "Bhasha Bharathi" (centre for translation). It would come up in memory of one of the doyens of Kannada literature, Kuvempu. The Syndicate decided to set up a chair in the name of Kempe Gowda to be sponsored by the Bangalore Mahanagara Palike. The final rules relating to the chair would be sent to the Government for approval.
