31 employees of Government College University resign
LAHORE: At least 31 employees of the Computer Science Department (CSD) of the Government College University (GCU), including its chairman, teachers and naib qasids, have filed their resignations with the registrar to protest against the behaviour of the GCU administration.
In their resignations, CSD Chairman Dr Majid, Associate Professor Sheraz Pervaiz, Assistant Professor Hamad Mushtaq, and others accused GCU Registrar Faisal Khursheed of forcing them to admit students in violation of merit. They claimed the registrar was pressuring them to influence the report of an inquiry against him. They said their contracts had not been extended after having lapsed three months ago. They alleged one Dr Asad Raza Kazmi had been made assistant professor, but he did not have a computer science degree.
Talking to Aaj Kal, Khursheed denied all the charges. He said the teachers were hired on a six-month contract and the contracts of the teachers with better performance were extended.
