Kundi wants women's university roles

PESHAWAR:

In line with the governor's instructions, the principal secretary has sent a letter to all universities in the province on Sunday.

The letter highlights the governor's concern about the lack of women representation in the syndicate and senate of these universities, as mandated by the Universities Act of 2012 sections 19(7) and 22(3A) of the Act stipulate that each university must include three women in both its syndicate and senate.

However, this provision has been ignored in several universities, which a violation of the law.
