Thursday, June 28, 2007 Ravi Mathai on academic governance Ravi Mathai, the legendary founder-director of IIMA, is widely credited with having created proceses and mechanisms that enabled IIMA to attain a position of eminence very quickly. One of the things for which he is remembered is the egalitarian culture he created at IIMA where the director was no more than the first among equals and initiatives and decisions emanated from the faculty body (although some people would say this has changed since). For instance, at IIMA, a professor's house does not change when the professor becomes director . This could mean that the director occupies a smaller house than some of the senior professors.
