Foreign Bikkhus to A’pura Bikkhu University
It is planned to absorb foreign Buddhist
Bikkhus to follow degree courses at the Anuradhapura Buddhasravaka Bikkhu
University. They can study Buddhist studies, Pali, Sanskrit etc at the
university.
Arrangements are in place to establish two
academic faculties affiliated to the Anuradhapura Buddhasravaka University in
China. This will improve relations with China, said Anuradhapura Buddhasravaka
Bikkhu University Mahopadyaya (Vice Chancellor) Ven Professor Thumbulle
Seelakkandha Nayaka Thera.
The new building complexes and the student
Bikkhus' lodge will be commissioned by President Mahinda Rajapaksa on June 22.
The government spent Rs 352 million for the buildings.
The prelate said in keeping with the Mahinda
Chinthanaya, the University is hoisted to the position of a prestigious
institute with international recognition.
He said the Bikkhu University housed in an
old building complex in the sacred city of Anuradhapura was in the process of
being shifted to a 13 acre land on the banks of Malwathu oya. The Thera said
the estimated cost for the new university complex is Rs 1,300 million.
“It is our intention to bestow a well read,
highly educated and well behaved young Bikkhu generation capable of propagating
the teachings of Buddha in the country and world,” the Thera said.
The government spends Rs 350,000 for the
maintenance of one student Bikkhu at the Buddhasravaka Bikkhu University
annually whereas in other universities in the country it is threefold,” the
Nayake Thera said.
He said the student capacity is 200 and it
will be increased to 400.
Under the recruitment of foreign Bikkhu
students, Bikkhus from Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Tibet etc
will be facilitated to follow degree courses at the Bikkhu University.
The Nayake Thera said the construction of the
University's language studies faculty building will be completed soon along
with the library building.
The construction of three more student
hostels, Dhana sala, auditorium and shrine room will follow. CDN

Sri Jayewardenepura University Lecturers to strike on behalf of sacked colleague
The teachers' union at Sri
Lanka's Sri Jayewardenepura University has decided to initiate a trade union
action demanding the reinstatement of a dismissed colleague.
The
teachers' union which is affiliated to the Federation of University Teachers'
Associations (FUTA) says the Senate of Sri Jayewardenepura University which
will meet on June 13th needs to reinstate the sacked lecturer Anuruddha Pradeep
Karnasooriya.
The
union says that the administration of the university had sacked lecturer
Anuruddha Pradeep on the grounds of not submitting his post graduate thesis on
time while the dean of the Social Sciences Faculty verifies he has submitted
within the time frame.
Karnasooriya,
who was a probationary lecturer since 2005, was required to submit his Master's
thesis within 8 years after joining the university and the deadline was March
9, 2013.
He
has submitted his thesis on March 1, 2013 but the University Senate was
informed the date of submission was March 20, 2013.
The
FUTA says since Karnasooriya was a vociferous activist against Higher Education
Minister S.B. Dissanayake's attempts to privatize the university education, the
University senate has been pressured to terminate his employment.
Karnasooriya
is an activist of the government coalition party Jathika Hela Urumaya but he
campaigned against the private universities and participated in the salary
struggle of the FUTA.
