Dissolution of Executive council

Mentor group vs.Executive Council:
It's a bad beginning for Presidency University.Little did Mamata Banerjee think when she initiated the move to create Mentor group for the better functioning of this university that it'd lock horn with the existing Executive Council(EC) on various issues instead of working in tandem.Both Mentor group and EC have eminent personalities as their members.EC is more powerful in the sense that it's executive power while the Mentor group is only an advisory body whose advice,however, is no binding on EC.In view of on- going conflict between the two bodies govt has decided to dissolve the present EC and form a new one inducting the present members of the Mentor group in it.What's interesting,Mentor group will also co-exist with EC with more or less the same members manning the two bodies.Now, what is the necessity of Mentor group if it's members common with those of EC?Even if the members of the mentor group are replaced by new members in future, is there any guarantee that both the bodies would work in unision without any difference of opinion as of now ?In fact,what's the harm if there's no Mentor group at all?Too many cooks just spoil the broth.

However, the saddest part of the story is the unceremonious dismissal of brilliant personalities in their respective fields, who consented to be members of EC on request from the earlier govt for their emotional attachment to this premier seat of learning.They'll definitely feel insulted and humiliated.
