KU Spokesperson has informed that Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ajmal
Khan has met with two delegations of elected teachers in which detailed
discussion was made on the agenda items of the upcoming syndicate meeting.
He clarified that it is the prerogative of the syndicate only, to allocate
the land of Karachi university to any other organization. In past many
institutions have given such applications which were presented before the
syndicate and syndicate’s decision is considered as the final verdict on
the subject matter.
Due to the meager financial conditions, KU administration has withdrawn the
agenda item of the syndicate relating to the Biometric attendance. The
representatives of the teachers drew the attention that the Performa
devised for the promotions of the teachers does not contain the consent of
every member of the committee. Therefore, it will not be presented in the
syndicate meeting till the agreement of every member of the committee.
Furthermore, the agenda item relating to the promotion of the non-teaching
staff in the higher grade, is also withdrawn till the election of non
teaching staff in the syndicate so that it will be discussed and decided in
the presence of the representative of the non teaching staff. Joining on
back date will also not be discussed in the meeting.
Prof. Dr. Ajmal Khan said that KU administration will use every resource
for the development and progress of the University of Karachi and its
employees.
The doors of my office are always open for faculty, employees and
students, every sort of advice and criticism for the sake of the betterment
of the university will be highly appreciated and welcomed, Dr. Khan added.
