Cherian George's tenure at NTU not renewed
- Thread starter Confuseous
- Start date
What the big fuck u talking about?
Cherian G is a MIW in the closet. His wife is whore press Editor and his brother in law in Yakult Ibrahim!
Dont forget he also has positions in all the shell government think tanks.
When you have family members in the establishment but you have the mind of an opposition, that makes you even more dangerous. Once he starts to voice out, you can't go too hard on him.
It is not new to see family members on different political sides. There was a Yong Nyuk Lin and his brother.

Neber trust tos who once was in the WHITE camp, they jolly noe that an Ounce of Loyalty
is worth more than a Pound of Knowledge.
It is possible that within one family you have different political view but is everything linked to politics when it does not go your way?
It is like some of my Muslim friends always thinking that they are marginalised by Chinese. They claim so when not promoted but failed to disclose that they actually use up the 30 MC given annually, without fail.

small point to make: not all muslims are malay, and not all malays are muslims. i have indian muslim friends who do not feel marginalized by the chinese.
so are you referring to your malay friends? or malay-muslim friends? or muslim friends encompassing the non-malays?
its a small distinction to make, but as a singaporean, we should be more discerning about these matters.
It will be interesting to see whether in actual fact he will have to leave...
NTU professor denied tenure may have to leave job

UPDATED (11:33am 1 March 2013. Clarifies in paragraphs five and six what happened after WKWSCI endorsed George's nomination)
The Nanyang Technological University associate professor whose denial of tenure caused an outcry within his faculty may have to leave the university by next year.
According to a statement from a group of students who met with Benjamin Hill Detenber, chair of the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information (WKWSCI), NTU policy states that journalism associate professor Cherian George would have to leave his position within a year after being rejected for tenure a second time.
An adjunct senior research fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies and former journalist with The Straits Times, George has spoken out against media control and has been critical of the ruling People’s Action Party. He joined NTU in 2004.
“Dr Detenber said tenure-track professors employed in NTU first get a three-year contract before they are put up for consideration for a tenure contract. If they fail to get a tenure contract at the first attempt, they would then be granted another three-year contract. If they fail at the second attempt, they would be then allowed to stay in the University for another year, before being asked to leave,” read the statement, which was sent out to all signatories of a petition protesting Dr George’s denial of tenure.
“This policy essentially means that Dr Cherian George will leave NTU within the next year.”

If he is really that good, it would be a good thing that he leaves because NUS do not deserve him. He can do better outside.
