The Lazy Third Eye

What are the rights and duties of the administrator and the administered? This short question has haunted public intellectuals, and a great many treatises have attempted to shape an inherently complicated boulder into a palatable sculpture. I make no attempt to draw a parallel to any of the works through this effort, however.

What I do aim to achieve through this series, however, is to convince you that the way decisions are being made in IIIT benefits no one, least of all the students. At the same time, there is no system, no villain, that one has to fight against except our own lethargy and apathy. There is some sense of a false dichotomy that exists in the imagination of most students that pits the administration against the students, each presumably serving to accomplish their own needs. In truth, this is largely a misunderstanding that is perpetuated by the manner and method of decision-making that a large number of students have witnessed. What does the administration have to benefit if they serve worse food in the mess? If nothing, it serves to only worsen the image of the institute in the coming years, which, I am sure, is an end no competent administrator wants. (The decision of whether the administrators in charge of IIIT are competent or not is something I leave to the judgment of the readers.)
