ethnicity

The head of my department, although previously in Cumbian University admin., appears unwilling to acknowledge the reality of the college. On the one hand she acts as if everything was above board, referring constantly to the bogus principal as professor, supporting her immedioate, incompetent unqualified staff, while on the other hand attacks and patronises genuine staff members. In these private colleges it is not unusual for properly trained and qualified staff to be marginalised.

I want to view another matter that is considered sensitive and difficult to highlight. The Academic Head of the college appears not to have sufficient experience or qualifications to warrant that position, only he shares ethnicity with the owners. All or the majority of senior academic positions also have been apparently awarded as a consequence of ethnicity not qualifications. This is common!
