National Textile University resumed edu activities
NTU resumes academic activities
Faisalabad, July 22, 2008: The National Textile University resumed its
educational activities on Monday, 40 days after its closure after a protest
drive by students.
A three-member committee headed by the Textile
Ministry secretary, talked to students on July 17 and asked them to return to
their classes.
The committee assured them their demands would be accepted
and the university would be accredited with the Pakistan Engineering Council
(PEC).
The university witnessed a thin attendance on Monday as most of
the students were not aware about the restoration of the academic
activities.
Educational activities were suspended 40 days ago after
students went on strike demanding the university be affiliated with the PEC, the
vice-chancellor sacked and Aptma removed from the university's
affairs.
Sources said Vice-Chancellor Masood Ahmed Biabani and Dean Dr
Zubair were sent on leave by the authority and Dr Tanvir replaced the
latter.
An acting vice chancellor would also be appointed soon, sources
added.
Students said they wanted to resume their studies instead of
protesting against anyone. Dawn

BUITMS students' hunger strike ends
Quetta: The eleven-day long 'unto
death' hunger strike by Balochistan University of Information Technology and
Management Sciences (BUITMS) students seeking a new admission policy based on
open merit at district level finally ended on Monday.
Around four hundred
Baloch students had been on a strike at BUITMS for more than a week to press the
government to review the current admission policy at BUITMS by replacing the 70
percent open merit with a district-based merit.
Committee: The strike
was called off following a meeting between the students and Balochistan Assembly
(BA) Speaker Aslam Bhootani and Provincial Minister for Irrigation Sardar Aslam
Bezinjo. On their visit to the hunger strike camp in front of the Quetta Press
Club, they informed the students that the governor had formed a twelve-member
committee to solve the issue within a week.
Bezinjo told reporters that
the governor had ordered the BUITMS management not to take any admissions until
the committee reached a decision.
The Baloch students have been
complaining that due to the 70 percent open merit admission policy, a large
number of Baloch students from rural areas fail to obtain admission at BUITMS.
"All we want is that BUITMS should conduct tests in every district to
select meritorious students so that every district is represented at this
prestigious institute," said Qambar Baloch, the strike organiser. The students
said on Monday that they fully trusted the committee and expected "justice" from
it.

Senate committee calls for release of funds to IIUI
Islamabad: The Senate Standing Committee on Education on Monday urged the government to immediately release
more funds to the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI), especially
its recurrent budget, as it was facing severe economic crunch.
During a
visit to the IIUI, the committee members took serious note to delay in the
release of third quarter fund to the university and assured to take up the
matter with the quarters concerned.
"This university should be a model in
the entire Muslim world but this objective could only be achieved when it is
provided with adequate funds and complete autonomy," the standing committee
observed.
The committee members asked the IIUI to become a corner of
excellence by bringing about qualitative improvement and acquiring services of a
highly qualified faculty.
The Senate body lauded the steps taken by the
university to spread the light of education and its commitment to quality
education, despite the odds it had been facing.
Philanthropists: The
committee asked the government to implement four-year undergraduate programme
all over the country to ensure uniformity and consistency. It also urged the
philanthropists and affluent sections of the society to help management of the
university overcome its current difficulties.
Earlier, Dr Anwar Hussain
Siddiqui, the IIUI president, informed the visiting legislators that there were
more than 14,000 students studying in the university, which had nearly 250
faculty members. Around 1,500 students from 46 countries, including 550 Chinese
students, were also studying at the university. The number of students might
reach 30,000 within 10 years, he added.
Crisis: Siddiqui said the present
resource crunch was so severe that the university had to borrow Rs 70 million
from banks on high interest rates to pay salaries to the teachers, as the third
quarter fund was yet to be released.
Deans and Heads of different
departments of the university told Senators the university was given only Rs
30.978 million out of the total quarterly grant of Rs 97.682 million.
The
committee came to know that salaries for the months of April and May were paid
after withdrawing Rs 64.5 million from pension funds, students funds and reserve
funds on loan basis.
The committee members expressed concerns over the
cut to the university's budgetary allocation and assured they would pursue with
the government to restore the grant immediately. Daily Times
