Question by India Shines: Philosophically speaking, why shouldn’t the Ph.D awarded to Principal of Jamal Mohamed College be withdrawn?

FMSPI(2000),
PGDFM (2001),
FICWA (2001),
Dip.MA (2006),
MBA (2008),
M.Phil.(Mgmt.) (2010)
In 2003, this man becomes the principal of college, and awards the the following degrees to himself!
Dip.MA (2006),
MBA (2008),
M.Phil.(Mgmt.) (2010)
Everyone knows that ‘degree’ means ‘level’ and in this context ‘level of education.’
In the normal course, one goes through bachelor, masters, then the master of philosophy and the docotrate in philosophy.
It is academically incorrect go for a master degree or anyother lower degree after the award of doctorate in philosophy.
It is something like doing Ph. D in Chemistry, then coming back to school and wrting an examination in physical chemistry and declaring that I have got first mark in physical chemistry.
It is something like doing Ph. D in Computer science, then coming back to collge, joiing an M. Sc information Techanology course and wrting an examination and declaring that I have got first mark in Information technology. It is logically, socially, academically, philosophically in correct to do so.
If Dr. X is doing a bachelor degree after the award of Ph.D, then his level of education. Dr. X might have received a Ph.D, but the current level of education is just master only. He may hold a Ph.D, but the Qualification is Just M.Sc., only. Where your now, what is your present level is your qualification.
In general the commerce guys used to buy several degrees and I am opt for this job, for that job.
But, here the case is prinipal of a big institution. He advices his staff and students that everyone has to be like him. Everyone should buy degrees like him (after he a man who gives certificates, I know that commerce guys would say that I it is self appreciation).
If everyone follows the path of the principal of Jamal Mohamed College, it would be academic disaster. Every teacher will appear for every examination in order to get a M. Sc in chemistry, the redo another Masters in Physics, Another masters in Botany, Another masters in Zoology… Is it the way science progresses? Is it the academics progress? Is it not the promotion of idiocy in the name of education.
I would say that the Ph. D awarded to these kind of ‘academicians’ should be withdrawn, because such person will become a wrong role model for the younger generation.
What is your opinion on this issue?

No one on Y!A Philosophy cares about corruption in some Indian university, and it has no relevance to the subject of philosophy. So stop posting about this crap in the Philosophy section.
What did the Principal of Jamal Mohamed College do to you?
