Andhra University — No payment for service rendered to the University as agreed upon per contract

Address: [email protected]

Dear Sirs;
I am writing to you to file a formal complaint to Andhra University regarding lack of payment for service rendered. I ask that you please look into this matter as I have complained four times already and nothing has happened. I have a long email string with files attached from the very first day I was approached by one of the University officials to provide a service and I would be paid in return. I was specifically contacted several months ago to provide a service, as a Doctoral thesis foreign examiner, by the dean of Academic Affairs of Andhra University, PROF. N. KISHORE BABU and I was to be paid US$ 100 which is a very modest amount for the work done. But in spite of my numerous emails and complaints I have not yet received payment.

As a career academic, senior researcher and professor I have served as advisor and examiner of a large number of theses. I have been the external (foreign) examiner for another two theses before and was paid without any problem. I provided all of the documents and complied fully with my part of the agreement, submitting the corresponding reports. Yet PROF. N. KISHORE BABU continues to ignore my complaints and payment has not been forthcoming.

I have never had this embarrassing situation happen to me before and I don't wish to continue this quarrel, I just want to be paid what the University owes me.

I will remain hopeful that with your mediation a fruitful outcome will ensue. If I am not paid the money I was to be paid by the Dean of Academic Affairs, PROF. N. KISHORE BABU I will take this matter to social media like LinkedIn, Instagram, Tik Tok, etc and will openly voice my situation and the null response I have had from Andhra University authorities, including its Rector. I hope that you measure the consequences of this action thoughtfully.

Many thanks,
Prof. Dr. Fernando Yanine
