Students' demo against varsity administration: Allege fake results
Faisalabad, Feb 26, 2008: Scores of students of the Government College
University, Faisalabad, staged a protest demonstration and boycotted the classes
on Monday alleging declaration of fake results, dropping out many students and
mismanagement by the GCUF administration.
Protestors, including boys and
girls of Bachelor of Engineering and Technology and B Pharmacy departments
carrying placards turned up on the campus and raised slogans against the varsity
administration and the examination officials.
Talking to reporters,
students of BET department alleged the university administration had dropped out
more than 200 students of seventh semester citing their failure to gain required
CGPA in fifth semester as reason. However, they said, earlier such restrictions
were not imposed on the students.
They deplored that despite receiving
fee on a regular basis, the administration suddenly told the students that they
were no more on varsity roll. They claimed that when the affected students
approached the examination department officials to know about the status of
their papers, they were denied the information.
The students alleged that
the varsity dropped out these students on the basis of `fake results' and was
not ready to give them an opportunity to appear in the supplementary
examination.They asked why the varsity was not providing the students the
facility of getting their papers rechecked, when they were ready to pay the fee
for it.
They threatened to intensify their protest, if their problems
were not addressed.
"We have been requesting the administration for
months to resolve the issue, but no body bothered to heed to us," said a
student, Asim.
B Pharmacy students lamented that despite passing six
semesters, the authorities concerned did not approve their
degree.
Vice-chancellor Dr Arif Zaidi came to students and tried to
pacify them saying their problems would be addressed on a priority basis and
efforts were underway in this regard.
VC said the
action against the students was being taken according to the varsity rules and
regulations and the administration did not want to harm their academic
career.
He said he, along with the BET and B-Pharmacy department
officials, would hold a meeting with the affected students to address their
genuine grievances.
He said the varsity was working on getting its
B-Pharmacy degree recognised by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) to help
the pass-outs secure jobs in the market. Dawn
Efforts on for quality education at GCU, says VC
Lahore: All efforts are being made to ensure quality
education at the GC University, said its Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Khalid Aftab. A
press statement issued on Monday said the VC while addressing participants of an
exit meeting with the Department of Chemistry arranged by the Quality
Enhancement Cell of the varsity added the Chemistry department with the help of
QEC had provided quality education. He said, "Academic programmes need to be
more effective and better and all the departments need to carry out rigorous
efforts in this regard." The meeting focused on the presentation on 'Programme
Quality Assurance Report' (PQAR) for BSc (Hons) 4-year Programme (2005-2009).
Earlier, the Chemistry department Chairman Prof Dr Akram Kashmiri made a
