This Clause seeks to amend the provisions of Section 39 on the question of recruitment of vice-chancellors. I want to believe that once we have a competitive process, we will have councils that will proceed to recruit on the basis of qualifications. When we talk of qualifications, I want to believe we are not only talking of academic papers; we should look at many other issues, including interests. We should look at the question of incompetent vice-chancellors. That way, we will get rid of people who are intent on mismanaging our universities. If universities get their vice-chancellors from a competitive process, then the issue of ethnicity that has been spoken about so much by Members here will not arise. What saddens us in this country is this: If you look around at the universities"}
