Abstract

When university teachers waste their time in activities that others can do and are doing, this augurs a significant loss for a country. The primary responsibilities of university academics — teaching and research — are both arduous and immensely rewarding. They should stay focused on these important responsibilities. If they remain preoccupied with activities ordinary people do daily, their higher education is wasted; it is also a waste of talents, expertise and resources for the country. Our country has to depend on knowledge produced by others primarily because the potential of this talented pool of human resources — university academics — is wasted on less important activities, not on producing knowledge.
