In a knowledge-driven economy, universities are a bastion for securing the present and future of the people. This is with no prejudice to other building levels of education that collectively enhance the viability of the workforce. With this foreknowledge, wise countries have always taken very seriously issues that affect their university workers with the swiftest dispatch that they can muster.
University workers whether academic or non-academic by their calling and personal conviction are people who believe in a life of modesty and contentment. That is why most academics in public universities for instance would channel their meagre salaries towards mobilising research materials for a research idea which would eventually support a student to get a degree. But is this appreciated? NO, only knocks are received.
Going by various recent releases from campus-based staff unions in public universities, it is obvious that university workers are not happy at all with the current situation of things. New minimum wage arrears have yet to be paid to university workers even though other sectors had theirs by ending of last year. What is the misdeed of university workers in this regard? Those who embraced IPPIS payment platform are not happy with its operation.
The undercurrent to the agitation for a happier university workforce is the issue of unfulfilled agreements that government willingly signed with the staff unions but had reluctant intention to implement it. Was it a trick? Maybe no, because government is supposed to be an embodiment of dependability, integrity and sovereignty.
May them be happy as they made student happy.
Since public & private managers of our increasingly complex enterprise system cannot objectively evaluate programs they control, they need the universities as critical friends in order to appreciate how their policy and executive decisions impact social welfare.
