VC Wanted: Teachers want age criterion added to advertisement
Shah asked the Governor House to issue a corrigendum, which includes the HEC policy and age criteria.
HYDERABAD:
The Federation of All Pakistan Universities Academic Staff Association has asked the Governor’s House to issue a corrigendum of a recent advertisement for appointment of Sindh Agriculture University’s vice chancellor.
The association’s Sindh general secretary, Dr Azhar Ali Shah, said the advertisement has omitted the criteria about age limit as well as the rules set by the Higher Education Commission.
The academic association has been demanding removal of all the vice chancellors who are above the age of 65 years from public sector universities in Sindh. According to them, there are at least eight overage vice chancellors in the province.
The advertisement, published on September 18, mentions ‘a high-class professional with a PhD in agricultural sciences or relevant fields’ as the requirement. The applications have to be submitted by October 4 to the Principal Secretary at Sindh Governor’s office.
Shah asked the Governor House to issue a corrigendum, which includes the HEC policy and age criteria. He also requested the commission to take notice of the advertisement and ensure implementation of its policies.
