Karachi
The vice-chancellor (VC) of the University of Karachi (KU), Prof Dr Muhammad Qaiser, was on Monday asked by Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad to continue service as per his current designation till further orders, after his four-year term ended on Monday.
A notification to this effect was issued by the governor’s principal secretary, Muhammad Hussain Syed.
According to an official of the university, Dr Qaiser’s term was likely to be extended as the Higher Education Commission’s (HEC) committee, tasked with appointing VC’s, could not function properly owing to the arrest of its chairman, Dr Asim Hussain. The committee in the absence of the Dr Hussain was said to have not been able to call meetings regularly; whereas an ongoing friction between teachers’ associations of public sector universities over the people nominated by the provincial government for the committee, also affected the meetings.
