This letter refers to the news report ‘25 varsities across Punjab working without regular VCs’ (September 2, 2024). The report states that “the situation at Punjab University, the oldest and largest university, is particularly alarming. Without a regular vice chancellor for more than two years, the university faces severe administrative and financial challenges”. In a country where nothing can be done without proper authority, it is unbelievable that the selection process for the new VC is not carried out before the previous one retires. It almost seems like a deliberate attempt to make a poor education system worse. Hopefully, new VCs will be appointed based on merit and experience in the near future.
