USP forks out $400,000 in legal costs annually because of the Human Resources Department's incompetence, with USP's lawyer John Apted  camped full time on the campus due to so many HR cases in dispute!

VC Rajesh Chandra largely responsible for spiralling legal costs because he arbitrarily decides to get rid of staff who are a threat to HIM!

Everyone is EQUAL in Fiji: If it is so, why no native Fijian on USP Board?

HON. A.T. VADEI.- I am surprised that there is no I Taukei to be a board member of the USP. There used to be I Taukei who are successful in the field of accounting, economics, et cetera, to be there. What really happened to that?

MR. K. BOILA.- Mr. Chairman, I will not be able to respond to that question. There are various factors that would contribute, so I cannot comment on that.

The Assistant Minister Bhatnagar should be sent back into the classroom for wasting the Committee's time by asking ill-prepared question:

HON. V. BHATNAGAR.- As you mentioned TELS, if you can give a little clarification as to how this works. As far as I know, once students go into TELS, they do not pay back. Is there a timeframe for how long and suppose a person is unemployed for one year or two years, are they required to pay back or the guarantor required to pay back?

DR. R. WAH.- The TELS does not come under the Commission, so I cannot answer that.

Chinese saying : A time of crisis is a time of opportunity. John Apted is clearly conversant with that Chinese saying.

Editor,
Talking about ARBITRARY RULE we learn from the ABC news this morning that Moamar Gaddafi's son Saif al Gaddafi' has been sentenced to death for the crimes he committed during his fathers dictatorship, including the crime of " suppressing peaceful protest ".
Isn't that something Bainimarama and Khaiyum did - suppress peaceful protest - during the Bainimarama dictatorship in Fiji?
Sincerely,
Rajend Naidu

Incompetence sure is written all over this article, since some executives don't seem to be doing their jobs effectively here.

Leaks: Big deal you say? Legal fees is 0.2% of expenditure... Find out how much it is in other organisations before you hurl abuses at USP. You will get grater mileage by focussin on Bai kai corruption than on trying to attack a good accountant and a good VC. (I loved your comment on Bhatnaga.. but the one to be sent to school is Vadei for an utterly stupid question..oops!)

Veena Bhartnagar should quit the Government ASAP or in the next parliamentary session, she should standup and say, "me no ingalis so give me a hindi to ingalis person"

This situation reflects the meanness of VC Rajesh Chandra and the slackness of people like so-called HR manager Agnes Kotoisuva. The VC would rather pay Jon Apted $400,000 than pay staff what they are entitled. The VC continuously pokes his nose in HR and breaches procedures to deny staff their rights. Everyone at USP knows that Agnes Kotoisuva is totally inept and unfit for the job. She was appointed by Walter Fraser, the former Registrar. This was another case in which procedures were not followed, USP is living with the legacy of Walter's damaging appointment in the form of a totally dysfunctional HR Department, Favourtism is the bane of USP with Rajesh appointing his mate Jai Karan as marketing and development officer. Jai Karan is nothing but Rajesh's traveling partner and carry boy.

Parliament rejected a valid call for a long overdue inquiry into USP so Fijileaks is our only hope for exposing the rot.
