I have been quoted by @latha_venkatesh of @CNBCTV18Live discussing reasons for economic slowdown of Bengal and strategies to reverse the trend.

[CNBC-TV18 @CNBCTV18News]

Can Bengal's first right-wing govt reverse the state's slowdown?

CNBC-TV18’s @latha_venkatesh breaks down the tall ask facing the new government.

I think @Princeton
should seriously consider adopting the recommendations in the Yale report, which include:

• Expand financial aid and make pricing more transparent and predictable for families
• Reform admissions by prioritizing academic achievement, reducing legacy/athlete/donor preferences, and establishing a minimum academic threshold
• Address grade inflation — Yale's median grade is now an A — through grade normalization and transcript percentiles. (Harvard and Yale are moving so we wouldn't be going alone this time.)
• Combat self-censorship in classrooms, with joint faculty-student classroom principles
• Pursue intellectual pluralism through departmental self-studies and investment in underrepresented scholarly traditions
• Implement a device-free classroom default to restore focused learning
• Create a shared civic education curriculum for first-year undergraduates
• Streamline administrative bureaucracy with a transparent, faculty-involved review
• Strengthen faculty governance, including faculty liaisons to the Board of Trustees
• Communicate more openly and listen more broadly to public concerns

The conventional belief indicates that the gradual success of an incumbent party lies in the economic progression of the state and the well-being of the majority of voters.

I was just on an interview and the person asked me how I would illustrate the difference between causality and correlation. She wanted something ocular so I showed her this picture that my friend @rshereme sent me years ago.

@wparag My hypothesis looking at the private universities in India is the universities those have provided less teaching and administrative load to faculties are more successful. If it is true, less successful universities, both private and public, should rethink their strategy.

[Debajit Jha @jhadebajit]

Much needed discussion of teaching hours per week for the faculties in Indian universities. My one observation about the private universities in India is the universities those have given less less teaching and administrative load to the faculties, are more successful.

[Parag Waknis @wparag]

Here I argue for rethinking the relationship between course credits and teaching hours in the new four year undergraduate programme proposed by #NEP and the UGC.
