PUASA protests against governor's visit to PU
Lahore: Punjab University Academic Staff
Association (PUASA) teachers protested on Saturday against the PU chancellor,
Governor Khalid Maqbool, because he has dismissed university teachers against
whom plagiarism accusations had been proved.
The PUASA teachers called
the termination illegal and contrary to university policies. They protested
against the chancellor and PU vice chancellor (VC) Dr Mujahid Kamran when the
governor arrived at the university. The chancellor heard the teachers' opinions
on the issue, but did not comment.
Maqbool visited the PU on Saturday to
discuss the university's goals and reform strategies. The PU administration
tightened on-campus security for the governor's visit, especially since the
PUASA had already announced that they would hold the protest on the governor's
arrival. The PUASA announced last month that they would meet the governor with
black flags.
PUASA members stopped the governor in front of the English
Department and discussed the issue with him. The teachers who stopped the
chancellor include: PUASA President Dr Mumtaz Ahmed Salik, PU Law College
teacher Sami Uzair, PU Institute of Communication Studies (ICS) senior teacher
Dr Ahsan Akhtar Naz, and PU Economics Department teacher Abid Raza
Khan.
The protesting teachers held black flags, displayed banners, and
wore badges on their arms to mark their protest. Abid Khan asked the governor to
reconsider his decision to dismiss the plagiarists.
PUASA President Dr Salik said, "I told the governor that the termination
is illegal and against the rules of PU". He said the governor tried to avoid
discussing the matter.
Later, the governor attended a presentation on the
university's goals and reform strategies in the VC's committee room. He said the
infrastructure of public sector universities in Pakistan is better than in
India. However, he added, Indian teachers are more committed to their profession
and "we also need to focus it".
Maqbool said the PU should only
accommodate female students from other cities in its hostels, and use the spare
hostels for academic purposes. He said a separate hostel should be established
for foreign students in order to improve the university's international ranking.
VC Dr Kamran told the chancellor that a separate hostel for international
students was already being set up.
Maqbool said that the Punjab
University had the potential to open centres of excellence in agriculture,
modern languages, and performing arts. He also asked the PU administration to
establish a system of teaching "excellent" English language and communication
skills to students on all programmes.
Low budget: Dr Kamran told the
governor that the PU had received only Rs 500,000 for research in the previous
budget. He added that he had asked for the research budget to be enhanced to Rs
50 million. He said the PU's greatest problem was a shortage of PhD teachers. He
said that more than 240 young lecturers were teaching at the university. Dr
Kamran told the chancellor that the university planned to send 20 of these
abroad to study on PhD programmes. He added that the other teachers would also
be helped in further studies.
The VC said that the adoption of the Tenure
Track System (TTS) would help improve the quality of research and education at
the university. The VC said that the Dean's Committee had decided to get
feedback from the students to assess their satisfaction levels.
Earlier,
on behalf of the vice-chancellor, Hailey College of Banking and Finance
Principal Prof Dr Khawaja Amjad Saeed gave a detailed briefing on the PU's
future goals and reform strategy including administrative reforms. Chancellor
Maqbool expressed satisfaction over the university's performance and its
goals.
He also visited the English Literature Department and the
Psychology and Applied Psychology Department, where the department heads, Prof
Shaista Sonu Sirajuddin and Prof Dr Yasmin Farooqi, gave presentations about the
courses being offered in their departments.
