Italy: State of the rhetoric and the brain drain.
Yesterday at 19:35
I was quite impressed that the letter Pier Luigi Celli,
Director General of the LUISS University, has directed its
son.
Not so much for the letter itself or its contents
(a father who calls her son to leave the country,
among ordinary people, one fact is quite obvious), but because that
father is not an ordinary man.
Pier Luigi Celli was the Director General of RAI,
a man is very well integrated in public;
one of those characters from which, because powerful
never, I would have expected a letter and a similar appeal.
Ours is a country blockaded and historically
castrated by nepotism and recommendations at every level: local, national
, public and private.
is a country, ours, in which the merit
has always had a very relative value. In Italy, the level of
professional life can exist, if you belong to a clan:
a family, a party, lobby, etc.. "Here, look around.
What you see is that all this has less value
in a divided society, contentious, highly individualistic,
ready to sell off the minimum values \u200b\u200bof solidarity and honesty,
in exchange for a recognition of the personal interests of
prebends questionable; Careers ferocious made on merit
nonexistent.
Unless it is a merit affiliation, politics,
clan, familistic: just make the difference. "
The brain drain is a phenomenon that has always been about the young university
brilliant, utterly devoid of
right hooks. How many rigged competitions in the name of
disgusting practice nepotism.
How many people have managed to get ahead in defiance to the most deserving
, just because the daughter of Tom, rather than
of Caius: "... run into the glorious destiny of those who, having done
maybe the taxi driver, you see rewarded - for reasons
guessed - with a Board of Directors, or
not knowing anything about electricity, gas and various energy, undaunted
access to the top of a multi-utility. "
The fact, therefore, that a personality Celli
as calls his son to leave, makes sense as Italy
really reached the "fruit": "This is a country in which
, if you're lucky, you'll start earning a tenth of a
any racks, a hundredth of a tissue or a
tronista, maybe a little more than a thousandth of a great manager who has
assets
misadventures and failures that will ever pay. "
Moreover, it is a country as ours, in strong
and irreversible decline: he lost and lost competitiveness for many years,
in almost all economic sectors, which has invested
and invests in basic research or applied in that;
that has used and still uses the school as a parking
for students and teachers are insecure, rather than as a breeding ground for the formation of classes
future leaders and citizens of tomorrow
. A country in which all that has materialized, even
the massacres of unarmed citizens, it seems that
occurred by chance, without ever seeing in the blame can anyone
"This is a country where nobody seems to pay for
for the mistakes made, imagine if you will pull back and thought that
not touch a higher post, once a
officiated by registered post to any office. "
But another reason to feel discomfort, always about the story of
which I discuss in this note, the empty rhetoric and institutional
that followed the letter of Celli.
That rhetoric is typical of our zealous rulers
first, as estimated by our Head of State.
to journalists who asked him to comment on the letter from the Director General
Pier Luigi Celli, Napolitano said:
"I do not think you can tell anyone who will return to
imperial Rome, it would be frankly excessive. But, on this basis
We can raise a country that lives up to
achievements, even the most advanced contemporary civilization. "
Faced with this "necessary", "season" his statement,
so useful to strengthen the patriotism in us all, to me is
spontaneous recall the illustrious President Giorgio Napolitano
the way her son Julius was able to
come in and make a career in academia, all against a
that Robert Tomei.
Giulio Napolitano, in addition to working as a counselor for
Presidency of the Council, has won a competition to
university professorship in administrative law, with a number of publications
well below those of Tomei.
The latter, in front of the wrong suffered, did and won the appeal
with the ruling Council of State, which (for the first time in this kind of
Appeals) affirmed the principle that
for publication shall be construed only
publications disseminated within the scientific community
that the candidate can claim to '... the act of application
monograph of Dr.. Napolitano and public services
reports of users "is produced in printed copy in your
author, hence the same lacks the minimum requirement to be defined
publication
evaluated the effects of competition in question."
And the judges added: "This work has been decisive element
for the assessment of the candidate, which
considered by the committee, the most important
at both formal and substantial, as is clear from the opinions given
, so its not impose eligibility,
necessary, the renewal of the Judgement suitability
expressed against him. "
However, the original Board of Examiners, re-invested
evaluation and was preferred to "become void."
A new Commission, founded in August 2005, was later overturned
more than a month later. Only after a warning by
Tomei, in February of 2006, the Board has been
reconstituted and has finished its work in June 2006
.
not having presented the candidate D'Orsogna, it was
to allocate two seats among the remaining candidates, namely
Napolitano and Tomei. Again Tomei was rejected, although
should be evaluated by the securities are not considered
first commission. E 'instead proved to be suitable
Giulio Napolitano, although his main work, the one on which the first
committee had been invoked to promote it,
could not be assessed in accordance with the decision of the State Council
. And so, eventually,
all lived happily ever after!
Long live the rhetoric! Long live the nepotism! Long live Italy!
