The primary reason for its decline may be attributed to lack of discipline and the administrative incapability
JAMSHORO: There was a time, we are told, when the University of Sindh was one of the most prestigious educational institutions of Pakistan. Unfortunately, today the university is seen by many as having a low standard, and the general perception is that it accepts students that no other university is willing to admit. The primary reason for its decline may be attributed to lack of discipline and the administrative incapability of those who manage it. The university is full of corrupt elements. Furthermore, it is currently being administered by teachers and not by those with any experience of managing a large university.
The Sindh University Teachers Association (SUTA) has often embarked on protests to force the university’s vice-chancellor to step down, but the association has never protested against the lack of facilities, such as laboratory equipment, computers, audio-visual aids and so on. I would request the government to monitor the activities of the SUTA. Furthermore, the administration of the university should be handed over to honest bureaucrats.
