They said the Vice Chancellor is facing three different corruption references at NAB and she is on protective bail.
They charged that several teachers are enjoying perks of senior administrative and faculty positions despite their junior positions. They accused the Examination and the Admission Wing of large scale corruption.
They charged that the university laboratories do not have chemicals and not even potable water is available to students. They also charged the university administration of nepotism in considering promotions of the faculty.
