The issue of Bangladeshi universities missing from university rankings in a global context that now perturbs the current vice-chancellors has just prompted ready-made answers. And the quality of growth is also reflected in the number of beggars on the streets, and of course, job crisis in almost all sectors. Will the DU professor in question and the company hire, in the future, organizations like QS World Rankings, which make better rankings in exchange for cash? The vice-chancellor once found glory for the university in the availability of samosas and tea on the campus at cheaper rates. The debates surrounding university rankings not only expose our highly polarized views but also prove our parochialism in the way we own our institutions or criticize them.
