After keeping me dangled for nearly three years for an answer to my appeals, "Petition for Protection of Intellectual Property" and "Misconduct in research and publication, and workplace harassment", the Vice-Principal (Research) (VPR) at Canada's Queen's University, cited sections and clauses of 'Research Integrity, and fiddling arguments, in favor of those who embezzled my research work and, ignobly, responded to my petitions only after I sought legal support to have the petitions answered. This is just one example of how I was treated and my (human) rights were violated at the university. The VPR's callous advice asking me "to move forward" made me feel like the victim of an assault who was warned, after the abuse by the scamp, "Keep silent, or. . . !" The same VPR who advised me to publish my remaining Ph. D. work by my-self, knew well that that prospect was made practically impossible by the perpetrators. The VPR, who did not want to hear me personally, but sprayed advice at me in his letter, wouldn't be as magnanimous if one of his colleagues or even someone he didn't know would have filched his own research work. To him, my work was good for 'sharing' even if I had objections to that 'sharing'. No wonder, in his university, I was cautioned, " - you cannot do anything, they are too powerful. " Naturally, as well, a professor of the same university growled, shaking his finger in my face, to say, "I will see how you'll find a supervisor and work in chemistry. "So, the ever-poignant question that I faced, was, "to say it or not to say it", that is, should I "keep silent or not keep silent", came my way, and, I have decided "to say" what had transpired at the schools. This book, "Sixteen Years at The University - A Narration of Human Rights Violations" is an account of what "the powerful" had done to me from May 1999 to April 2016, and beyond. In my earlier title, "A Tale of Two Universities - A Long Journey" (a Kindle-Amazon Publication), are described the ignominious treatments I received at two universities, Texas Tech University, USA and Queen's University, Canada whence my journey of sixteen years at Queen's University began in May 1999. On the other hand, I went to Texas Tech in January 1985 to work on Ph. D. after earning my MS from the University of Georgia, USA. Shocking but true enough, after working for almost four years at Texas Tech in Lubbock, I was able to escape the city of Lubbock with my life in hand. The story is told in the later book, as a reviewer wrote, "Writing this review after reading this book with a broken heart. Not finding a right word to describe but it sounds like academic adultery went on the author. Supervisors harassed all way possible so that the author cannot get his PhD degree, instead of helping him succeed, and that should be their job. People doing higher studies should read this factual incredible book. "
