PU VC search committee is competent enough: governor
LAHORE, Sept 14: The Search Committee that appoints vice chancellors (VCs)
is a competent body, framed by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) and no one
can challenge it, Chancellor/Governor Lt Gen (r) Khalid Maqbool said on
Thursday. Answering a question of the Punjab University acting VC Dr Arif Butt
at the Vice Chancellors' Conference at the Governor's House, Chancellor Maqbool
said the members of the search committee were well-reputed people and had
contributed a lot to the field of education. Maqbool stopped Dr Butt from
talking on the search committees and internal matters of the Punjab University
(PU). He said the purpose of the conference was to discuss on academic
development, not varsities' internal affairs.
Higher Education Commission (HEC)
chairman Dr Attaur Rehman said Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz met with the
chancellors of all provinces a few days ago and the meeting discussed the issue
of search committees. He said the meeting decided that the HEC would give funds
only to those universities that accept its decisions and follow its policies. He
said the committee looked for people with leadership qualities for the job of a
VC. Mumtaz Ahmed Salik, president of the Federation of All Pakistan Academic
Staff Association (FAPUASA) had on September 9, criticised the HEC's search
committee. He had said that its members were "incompetent, not from the academic
circle and do not even have a PhD". Daily Times
