Lahore: Punjab University (PU) Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Mujahid Kamran has said that the varsity
is depending upon young PhDs to further strengthen the education standard,
adding he will make efforts to abolish the sanction of extra teaching on Tenure
Track System (TTS) teachers. He stated this at a meeting with TTS
teachers at the varsity's Al-Razi Hall, Undergraduate Block here on New Campus
on Friday. He said he always thought for the solution of problems being faced by
teachers in advance as he decided to lift the ban on extra teaching on TTS
teachers on his own. He said due to increase in Basic Pay Scale (BPS),
the difference between TTS and BPS teachers pay has been reduced adding he said
that he had written a letter to HEC for increasing 25 per cent pay of TTS
teachers and also asked permission for granting medical facility to them.
In this regard we are waiting for Planning Commission's response, he
added. PU VC said he was trying to increase the ratio of PhD teachers
and number of publications in the varsity adding five seats would be created for
doing post PhD within the country while fund would have to be created for doing
post PhD abroad. He said teachers would now get published their books from

PUASA activists disrupt VC's meeting
Lahore: The Punjab University Academic Staff Association
(PUASA) broke into a hall on Friday where Vice-Chancellor (VC) Prof Dr Mujahid
Kamran was holding a meeting with 50 teachers appointed under the tenure track
system (TTS). Dr Kamran called guards and closed the Al-Razi Hall. PUASA executive
committee members led by president Prof Dr Mahr Saeed Akhtar and general
secretary Iftikhar Tarar chanted slogans against the vice-chancellor and also
distributed among faculty members a charter of demand.
The PUASA executive committee alleged that Prof Kamran had called the meeting
to help the teachers belonging to the Teachers' Front, which lost the recent
PUASA elections.
When association members broke into the hall, the VC reportedly said that he
did not welcome them in the meeting. PUASA activists, however, sat in the
meeting, saying they were faculty's representatives. They claimed that faculty
members had strongly criticised the varsity officials, particularly additional
registrar Dr Aurangzeb Alamgir, which infuriated the VC. PUASA leaders demanded
that the VC remove officials insulting faculty members.
The Punjab University Teachers Front has meanwhile released a pamphlet
criticising the Academic Group and the Academic Forum for joining hands to
protect "teachers involved in immoral and illegal activities".
Teachers Front (TF) leaders claimed that the PUASA members were trying to
avoid action from the varsity administration. They claimed that top leaders of
both the Academic Group and the Academic Forum were being accused of admitting
an expelled student, standing along employees who were using 'derogatory'
language against teachers and top university administration and protecting
motorcycle and car thieves.
They said that the TF would not succumb to PUASA's negative tactics.
Also, a PU spokesman says VC Prof Kamran had assured TTS faculty members that
ban on taking extra classes would be abolished.
The VC said the PU was banking on young PhDs to further strengthening
education standards in the university. He said that he was working to resolve
teachers' problems and added that he had written a letter to the Higher
Education Commission for increasing 25 per cent pay of teachers serving on TTS.
He said the varsity administration was waiting for the Planning Commission
response.
He said he was trying to increase the ratio of PhD teachers and the number of
publications in the university. He said that five seats would be created for
doing post-doctorate within the country while fund would be created for doing
post-doctorate abroad.Prof Kamran said the university teachers could now get
published their books from the University Printing Press.
The PU spokesman stated that PUASA president Prof Dr Mahr Saeed Akhtar
attended the TTS teachers meeting and thanked the VC for calling the meeting and
lauded his efforts for solving teachers' longstanding problems. Dawn
