Promotion of senior KU teachers comes under criticism
Karachi: Lack of transparency and procedural
irregularities have marred the recent teachers' promotion process at
Karachi University (KU), sources said on Wednesday. Dissent,
they said, was raised at the last syndicate meeting held to review the
selection boards' recommendations for grade-22 promotions but was
conveniently ignored by members in majority. The selection process took more than two years to complete. "What
happened in the syndicate is highly regrettable; the university
administration didn't provide synopses [brief description about each
candidate's academic achievements, works] to members in order to have a
discussion on their merit. Worse still, the forum approved promotions as
sent by the selection board," said a member of the KU syndicate on
condition of anonymity. The syndicate's composition, he said,
needed to be reviewed as it had become a 'constituency' of teachers,
protecting each other's vested interests. "I came to know later that a
member, who was vocal against the tainted promotion process earlier,
changed his stance in the syndicate meeting only because the university
administration also included his wife in the promotion list," he said. According
to the sources, other major objections against the process included
grant of promotion to those who had less experience and had political
backing. At least two teachers, they said, had been promoted
without a vacant post and their appointment was subjected to professors'
retirement. "The entire process was flawed and needs to be
investigated thoroughly," said Dr Riaz Ahmed, a senior university
teacher who has launched a forum against alleged malpractices on the
campus. At least two teachers, they said, had submitted their
complaints to the vice chancellor, expressing serious reservations over
the promotion process. "A major irregularity in the promotion
process was that the university filled four posts that fell vacant after
the last date for submitting applications had passed. According to
rules, the university should have advertised these posts first and then
fill them," writes Dean Faculty of Islamic Studies Prof Dr Mohammad
Shakeel Auj in his petition to the vice chancellor. He continues,
"In order to accommodate certain people, the administration introduced a
new phenomenon this year that has no legal grounds; 'promotion
in-waiting' (two appointments were made without vacant posts)." Another
teacher, Prof Nasira Khatoon of the Zoology department writes, "I came
to know that one candidate with 64.5 per cent marks during the selection
process was reported to have 72 marks in the syndicate meeting though
he should have been at the bottom of the list behind those who had 65
marks." The KU vice chancellor and the media adviser were not available for comments. Prof
Abid Azhar, who processed all applications before they were sent to the
selection board, contended that there was no irregularity and teachers
who gained maximum marks were selected. When he was asked about a
teacher whose numbers reportedly changed when presented in the syndicate
meeting, he replied that he (Dr Ansar Rizvi) had not been promoted. When he was told that he was among the promoted teachers, he said he was unaware of his promotion. "I can't disclose the details of the selection process but those selected are on merit," he said. Those
who have been promoted are: Prof Jameel Kazmi, Prof Tabassum Mumtaz,
Prof Nighat Siddiqui, Prof Ghazala Rizwani, Prof Waseemuddin, Prof
Moonis Ahmer, Prof Shahina Fayyaz, Prof Saleem Shehzad, Prof Iqbal
Chaudhry, Prof Seema Munaf, Prof Rafiq Alam Khan, Prof Nasreen Aslam and
Prof Ansar Rizvi. Dawn

"Dear Concerned, I would strongly suggest & recommend the relevant authorities (who are posting such announcements on websites), to PLEASE mention the YEAR as well, and the revised dates also like DD-MM-YY format, instead DD-MM only. This would help all the students and their parents to check & confirm the accurate information related to appropriate papers/examinations, e.g. I am looking for the revised schedule of postponed papers of Dt: 03 & 04-Jun-14 for Intermediate part I & II (Private) held in Karachi. These papers was postponed due to MQMs call for a mourning day, all previous years information is being available on the net but unfortunately still unable to get the required one. Please look into it."

No headway in BISE scam probe
Mirpurkhas: The committee tasked with conducting inquiry into allegations of corruption and irregularities in financial
and administrative matters in the Board of Intermediate and Secondary
Education, Mirpurkhas, has failed to submit its report to the chief
minister within 15 days. More than 20 days has passed to the
inception of the committee, which was formed by the commissioner of
Mirpurkhas division, Sajid Jamal Abro, on the directives of chief
minister but it has not made any progress on the assigned task,
according to sources. The sources said the chief minister had
directed the commissioner to conduct an in-depth inquiry into the
budget, funds, accounts, recruitments, hiring of staff and examinations
conducted by the board and submit him a report. The commissioner
for-med the enquiry committee on April 16 with deputy commissioner Syed
Mehdi Ali Shah as its convener and secretary additional deputy
commissioner-1, director of schools education Jalil Lashari, district
accounts officer Hassan Jan Changezi and regional director of colleges
Dr Saeeduddin Ahmed as members. The committee would submit its
report on the performance of BISE in all respects within 15 days, so
said the commissioner's order. The sources said the committee
was scheduled to meet on April 30 but the bo-ard officers abstained from
attending it at the pretext of being busy in annual examinations of
intermediate. About a month ago, the All Pakistan Clerks
Association, Mirpurkhas chapter, and APCA's BISE unit had launched a
protest campaign against the board chairman and his officials and
leveled serious allegations of corruption on them at a press conference. In
retaliation, the board chairman victimised a large number of employees
and union leaders who were protesting against him. He dismissed from
service, suspended, issued show cause notices, reverted and demoted many
office-bearers of the APCA and other low-ranking employees as a
punishment for revealing corruption, said the sources. Dawn

NED students propose environmental designs for Saddar
Karachi: Former architecture students of the NED university on Monday presented a
comprehensive environmental design (CED) of Saddar Bazaar suggesting its
redevelopment for better working and efficiency. For the
past 14 years, the CED project has been a regular feature of study at
the department of architecture and planning at the NED university where
final eyar students work on an urban subject. For this
year the batch had been divided into four groups to understand the
historical, physical, social and economic aspects of Saddar bazaar and
its immediate context. The key objective of this project
is to create an overall understanding of the urban environment and the
processes through which it had been shaped. The
analytical presentations by the students focused on basic proposals for
addressing problems of the area and overcoming those challenges while
meeting the needs of the areas and groups targeted in the study. Meanwhile,
the studio project was multi-faceted and attempted to understand the
basic realities behind the creation of the urban environment, the
ongoing urban metamorphosis and appreciation of diverse fields of
studies within architectural education. The CED project
provides a comprehensive development framework based on the historical
evolution of the area for its future sustainable growth. It
will follow a linear research and design track with documentation
leading to analysis, spatial interventions and policy recommendations. The
project will be tied up conceptually with a larger vision for the area
or the city, however, a secondary focus was placed on urban phenomena
and the search for new paradigms. The studio exercise was conducted by Architects Rahat Arsalan, Ravinder Kumar and Noman Ahmed. The news
