‘Privilege, not a right': US tightens citizenship rules with new ‘good moral character' test
Saying it's reserved for the 'best of the best,' the Trump administration has unveiled new rules that make it harder for legal immigrants to qualify for US citizenship, expanding the long-standing requirement of 'good moral character' into a sweeping review of applicants' behaviour, values and community ties. 'US citizenship is the gold standard of citizenship — it should only be offered to the world's best of the best,' US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) spokesman Matthew Tragesser said in a statement to CBS News. 'Today, USCIS is adding a new element to the naturalization process that ensures America's newest citizens not only embrace America's culture, history, and language but who also demonstrate Good Moral Character.' The directive, issued on Friday by USCIS, the agency that oversees the nation's legal immigration system, marks the Trump administration's latest move to tighten access to US immigration benefits. Traditionally, legal immigrants with US permanent residency or green cards, have been able to apply for citizenship after a three- or five-year period, provided they pass English and civics tests and demonstrate 'good moral character.' For decades, that requirement was generally satisfied if applicants avoided serious crimes such as murder, aggravated felonies, drug offenses, or being deemed a 'habitual drunkard.' But the new policy expands the definition, saying officers must go beyond a 'cursory mechanical review focused on the absence of wrongdoing.' Instead, they must conduct 'a holistic assessment of an alien's behavior, adherence to societal norms, and positive contributions that affirmatively demonstrate good moral character.' Officers are instructed to put 'greater emphasis' on positive attributes such as community involvement, family caregiving, educational attainment, lawful and stable employment, tax compliance, and the length of time spent in the US. At the same time, they are also ordered to apply 'greater scrutiny' to conduct suggesting poor moral character, even when it falls short of crimes. That includes 'reckless or habitual traffic infractions, or harassment or aggressive solicitation.' The policy also directs officers to weigh evidence of rehabilitation where wrongdoing is present, such as completing probation, paying overdue taxes or child support, and letters of support from community members. According to the guidelines, 'aliens applying for naturalization must demonstrate that he or she has been and continues to be an individual of good moral character'. In another setback for immigrants seeking to live and work legally in the United States, Trump's administration on Tuesday, announced that applicants will now be screened for signs of 'anti-Americanism.' The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said officers will examine whether applicants for immigration benefits, including green cards, have 'endorsed, promoted, supported, or otherwise espoused' anti-American, terrorist, or antisemitic views. 'America's benefits should not be given to those who despise the country and promote anti-American ideologies,' USCIS spokesperson Matthew Tragesser said in a statement. He further clarified, 'Immigration benefits, including to live and work in the United States remain a privilege, not a right.' The USCIS has not issued a detailed list defining what constitutes anti-Americanism, leaving uncertainty about how and when these directives will be applied. Over the past decade, the US has naturalised between 6,00,000 and 1 million immigrants annually, according to USCIS data. While the Trump administration's hardline stance on illegal immigration — from deploying troops at the southern border to expanding deportations — has dominated headlines, it has also steadily pursued restrictions on legal immigration. Those include scaling back refugee admissions, scrapping Biden-era visa programs, tightening vetting procedures, and broadening social media reviews of applicants.

Are engineers taking over India's civil services?
Once the backbone of India's civil services, humanities graduates are now finding themselves edged out by engineers and technocrats. In the 1980s and '90s, subjects like history, political science, and sociology dominated the UPSC ranks. Fast forward to today, and the majority of recruits come from technical streams, with engineers alone making up nearly two-thirds of successful candidates. A recent parliamentary committee report has flagged this imbalance, warning that the nation's bureaucracy may be losing its diversity of thought and, along with it, the empathy and perspective that the humanities once brought to 2023 report by the Department-related Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice titled 'Review of Functioning of Recruitment Organisations of the Government of India' raised concerns over the growing dominance of candidates from technical backgrounds in the Civil Services The share of successful candidates from engineering backgrounds rose sharply—from 46% in 2011 to 65% in professionals: Their representation dropped from 14% to just 4% over the same While fluctuating between 23–28%, the proportion decreased from 27% in 2011 to 23% in engineers and medical professionals, over 70% of recruits in recent years came from technical streams raising concerns that the country may be losing 'exceptional doctors and engineers' to bureaucracy. Further data from 2017 to 21 echoes this skew:76% of recommended candidates hail from the science stream (engineering, sciences, medicine).Only 23.6% came from the humanities. INSIGHTS BEYOND NUMBERS: HISTORICAL CONTEXT & TRENDSHistorical shifts: Up until the 1980s, the Humanities and Social Sciences dominated the educational backgrounds of IAS recruits. But between 2000–2019, the trend reversed: disciplines such as engineering, medicine, and computer science became more prevalent. For instance, Electrical Engineering and Medicine emerged among the top entry-fields, while Economics and Political Science declined in impact: The 2011 introduction of the Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) recalibrated the landscape:Humanities candidates' IAS success dropped from ~30% in 2009 to 15% by engineering representation surged to ~50%.Humanities aspirants argue CSAT's format disadvantaged non-technical and non–English-speaking though UPSC uses a normalization formula to level scores across optional subjects, the number of engineers remains high. Many engineers still choose humanities subjects (like political science, sociology, geography) as their options due to better familiarity with exam structure and 'model answers.'WHY IT MATTERSLoss of interdisciplinary richness: Humanities graduates often bring critical thinking, empathy, and nuanced analytical capacity—qualities crucial for public mismatch: The committee lamented that the increasing allure of civil services may be depriving sectors like healthcare and engineering of high-caliber in decision-making: A disproportionately technical bureaucracy risks underrepresenting social and cultural perspectives essential for inclusive Table (Note: 2017–21 data shows 76% from science overall, and ~23.6% humanities, approx data)The parliamentary panel's warning is more than a statistical footnote it's a reminder that India's civil services must reflect the country's intellectual diversity. A bureaucracy dominated by technocrats may deliver efficiency, but risks losing the cultural, social, and ethical lenses that humanities graduates naturally bring to governance. Scholars and policy experts have suggested several reforms: revisiting the structure of the CSAT to reduce technical bias, creating differentiated service tracks for domain experts, and encouraging a balanced intake across many countries nurture civil servants from social sciences and liberal arts, valuing their ability to question, contextualize, and connect policies with people. For India, a similar recalibration could ensure that the next generation of administrators are not just problem-solvers with technical acumen, but empathetic leaders who understand the social fabric they serve. After all, governance is not only about efficiency it is also about equity, context, and vision.- Ends

Inquiry committee unearths gross irregularities in appointment of professors in University of Madras
An inquiry committee has found gross irregularities in the process of making appointments to the post of professor in different departments of the University of Madras (UoM) in 2014-15. The committee's report, which was placed before the Syndicate on Monday (August 18, 2025), unearthed several discrepancies, including violation of eligibility criteria and University Grants Commission (UGC) norms for the recruitment of professors. The Syndicate has resolved to send show-cause notices to the persons concerned under Section 17(b) of the Tamil Nadu Civil Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, sources in the University said. On June 1, 2014, the University advertised for 22 posts of professors in different departments, which appeared in an English newspaper circulated in the State, a local language daily, and a political party's news outlet. The report held that as per the procedures followed, the advertisement should have appeared in national newspapers. Going into further details, the report stated that barring three candidates, none of the other applications were scrutinised by the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), a body mandated by UGC/NAAC guidelines to maintain documents and develop Academic Performance Indicator (API) criteria for the recruitment of teachers. The inquiry committee, which was constituted following a court direction in August 2024, had appointed Elangovan Vellaichamy, Controller of Examinations (in-charge), as the nodal officer to take control of all documents pertaining to the recruitment process and prepare a confidential report based on the assessments as per UGC norms. 'It is found and as stated by the Nodal Officer, as per the data provided by the D1 Establishment section, only three applications relating to Dr. S. Manivasakan of the Centre for South and South East Asian Studies, Dr. P.D. Balaji of Ancient History and Archaeology, and Dr. V. Chandrasekar of Department of Education were verified by the IQAC and other applications were not verified,' the report, which has been accessed by The Hindu, read. Discrepancies Citing specific cases, the report stated that S.S. Sundaram had applied for the position of associate professor and his application was submitted at least six months after the last date for submission. He was appointed as professor in the Department of History. Similarly, the committee found no evidence to show that V. Bhuvarahamurthy, appointed as professor in the Department of Medical Biochemistry, had any prior teaching experience. With regard to S. Sumathy, appointed as professor in the Department of Anthropology, the Nodal Officer could find no application or particulars about her PhD, publications, and teaching applications in the university documents. Dr. S. Manivasakan, appointed as professor in Centre for South and South East Asian Studies, secured 54.1% in his post graduate degree in Defence Studies, while the minimum qualification marks is 55%, the report pointed out. S. Saravanan, appointed as professor in the Department of Saiva Siddhantha, did not have the required services as associate professor and his application was not scrutinised by the IQAC, the report added. Many of the 16 professors appointed during this process have since retired from service. In 2019, Syed Rahamathullah, a retired professor of the Department of Hindi, filed a writ petition in the Madras High Court seeking direction to constitute a committee to probe the irregularities in the appointment of professors. In August last year, the court ruled in his favour following which, a committee was constituted with Sarit Kumar Das, professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Madras, as convenor, and S. Gowri, former Vice-Chancellor, UoM, and Justice P. Jyothimani, retired Madras High Court judge, as members. The committee submitted its report on May 14, 2025.
