Dear Newsgroup:
I have a lot written about power struggle and influence of a few in
academic instructions and in some degree explained my point of view
about their operations.
You may wonder how their mechanism of influence is channeled in the
academia.
One way of concentration would be on the issues of race, religion and
nationally of faculty members.
With my experience of a quarter century in this domain, I would say
most attention would be given to those factors in the first place
rather than merit.
They are mostly interested in visible minority applicants particularly
those from India and China (in the USA and Canada).
The next group is from Eastern Europe such as Poland and Russia and
Hungry.
These individuals under the clause of “minority groups” placed in the
academia and sometimes in position of power to enhance powers of those
few to control the institutions of higher learning.
