Some strategies to help you navigate the tricky minefield of complicated work situations

Exit strategies

18.07.2021 

I am disheartened by my colleagues who talk about equity and compassion, yet fail to advocate those same values in-house. It’s time for me to resign and for the standard exit interview. Should I be candid about my frustrations or just be gracious and “hope our paths cross again”?

This phenomenon of people voicing solidarity but doing little to act on the politics they purport to have is not unique to your workplace. Most people talk more than they act.

There are all kinds of ways to approach exit interviews. You can burn it all down, telling your employer the most unfiltered version of what you think. Most of us have fantasised about this kind of exit interview, but we don’t do it because the world is small and our professional circles are even smaller. There may be repercussions for speaking our minds.

First, determine what you hope to accomplish. Will voicing your frustrations simply make you feel better? Will the organisation act on your feedback? If your professional future depends on it, be gracious. Let common sense be your guide for the tone you take and where the conversation leads.

Tell the truth?

My new firm interviews candidates from my old firm and I am often asked what I think of them. Given that we all need jobs, how much is reasonable to share? What do people expect?

When giving this kind of informal recommendation, you should be honest about what you have directly observed or experienced. Everything else is conjecture or hearsay. When you aren’t privy to details about your colleague, it is better to say nothing. No harm is done in sharing what you know that is positive. Trust your instincts.

Drowning in the deep end

I was recently promoted to a managerial position. We never replaced the marketing director role, so I am the de facto lead for all of our promotional efforts. How can I tell my boss that the best thing for me, and the company, would be to look for a new marketing director?

Bringing this up may show a lack of ambition. But I am overwhelmed and a little burned out.

It can be terrifying when we are thrown into the professional deep end.

Your well-being, both professionally and personally, matter. If you are genuinely overwhelmed, speak with your boss. Ask for a new marketing director by identifying why that position should be filled by someone other than you and how it will benefit the company.

At the same time, make it clear that in the future, when you have more experience, you would like to be considered for the director position.

Memories strengthen when you’re asleep

Memories strengthen when you’re asleep

18.07.2021 

While we sleep, the brain produces activation patterns. When two of these patterns gear into each other, previous experiences are reactivated. The stronger the reactivation, the clearer will be our recall of past events, a new study published in Nature Communications has revealed.

Scientists have long known that slow oscillations (SOs) and sleep spindles — sudden half-second to two-second bursts of oscillatory brain activity — play an important role in the formation and retention of new memories. But recently, researchers from the University of Birmingham and Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich discovered that a precise combination of SOs and sleep spindles is vital for opening windows during which memories are reactivated.

“Memory reactivation is specifically bound to the presence of SO-spindle complexes. These results shed new light on the memory function of sleep in humans and emphasise the importance of orchestrated sleep rhythms in strengthening recall,” said study co-author Dr Thomas Schreiner.

Study participants were shown information before taking a nap and the research team closely monitored brain activity during non-rapid eye movement sleep using EEG recordings. Participants were then tested on their memory recall after waking up, allowing the researchers to link the extent of memory reactivation during sleep to memory performance.

8 foreign universities keen to set up campuses in India

8 foreign universities keen to set up campuses in India

5 Of Them From US & 1 Each From UK, Australia & Canada: Survey

Manash.Gohain@timesgroup.com

New Delhi:18.07.2021 

Eight foreign universities, including one each in the top 50 and 100 of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2021, said that they would be interested in setting up their international campuses in India. Five of these are US universities and one each from the UK, Australia and Canada.

In a survey, where 43 internationally ranked universities participated, 16 said they are not considering a campus here, and another 16 are undecided. The eight which expressed interest claimed they would prefer Indian students to begin with to ensure sufficient enrolments and sustainability of their venture.

The survey “Establishing International Branch Campuses in India,” by the National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), a central government funded deemed to be university, was conducted between December 21, 2020 to February 12, 2021 to elicit responses from the top 200 universities of the THE World University Rankings 2021 on their views on setting up their international campuses in India. The respondents include three from the ‘top 10’.

As per the report, all the eight respondents that indicated ‘definitely consider’ India as a potential destination for establishing international branch campuses said that there is a need for liberal regulatory framework for improving the attractiveness of India. This is of particular significance because the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 had recommended to allow only universities from the ‘top 100 category’ in the world university rankings to operate in India.

According to Eldho Mathews, deputy adviser, Unit for International Cooperation, NIEPA, “Contrary to popular view, foreign universities in the top category are also interested in establishing their campuses in India. But most of them are adopting a wait and watch approach as the government rules and regulations are yet to be framed.”

Of the 43 universities which participated in the survey, 14 are from the UK, 13 from the US and 6 are from Canada. Nine of these universities are in the top 50 of the Times Higher Education World Rankings and 30 are in top 150 rankings.

The survey also sought the views on preferred campus model and the report suggested that the number of universities preferring some kind of tie-up with government-run institutions or assistance directly from the government is higher than setting up with private assistance or no external assistance.

“Promoting various models of branch campuses would be helpful in attracting more universities. Similarly, universities that are willing to offer programs that are relevant for the skill needs of the country should be given priority,” said Mathews.

Some of the models suggested in the report are the US-based Webster University in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom’s University of Nottingham in Ningbo, China and Singapore Institute of Management’s partnership with the University at Buffalo (UB) School of Management, located at the State University of New York at Buffalo for its Bachelor of Science degree program in business administration offered in Singapore, among others.

First year admissions to start after July 31 & end by Sept 30: UGC

First year admissions to start after July 31 & end by Sept 30: UGC

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Chennai:18.07.2021 

University Grants Commission (UGC) on Friday directed all colleges and higher educational institutions to commence the admission process only after July 31 by when all boards are expected to declare Class XII results.

Tamil Nadu Directorate of Government Examinations (TNDGE) said Class XII results would be declared on July 19. Though UG admissions would commence after Class XII results for state board students are released, the TN higher education department asked all colleges to commence admissions for 2021-22 on August 1 after the declaration of CBSE Class XII results.

As per UGC’s academic calendar for 2021-22, colleges must wind up admissions before September 30 and the academic session must commence latest by October 1.

However, the UGC left the planning of semester exams, break, commencement of next semester and exams with concerned universities and autonomous colleges. The next academic year for the 2021-22 batch will begin on August 1, 2022.

“In view of the financial hardships faced by parents due to lockdowns and related factors, the commission asked all colleges to refund full fees for cancellations of admissions or migrations up to October 31 as a special case. It said there should be zero cancellation charges till October 31 and thereafter, the college should refund full fee after deducting process fee not more than ₹1,000,” the UGC said in its guidelines.

Loyola College principal Thomas Amirtham said arts and science colleges may not need two months for the admission process and online classes for first year students may commence much earlier. “In the present academic schedule, it is not possible to have a long summer break. The schedule also allows each state to adapt according to their local Covid-19 situation,” he said, adding that the online classes are likely to continue for a few more months.

D G Vaishnav College principal S Santhosh Baboo said colleges may be looking to wind up the admission process quickly. “Even if colleges are allowed to reopen, science students will be called to do practicals in person while theory classes will be online,” he said.

As per UGC’s academic calendar for 2021-22, colleges must commence the academic session latest by October 1
