The Sindh High court has set aside the ongoing exercise of shortlisting candidates for the post of vice chancellor of the Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology (Fuuast), and directed the search committee to conduct the selection process de novo.
The order came during a hearing of a petition of Prof Mohammad Zahid, who challenged the appointment of the search committee members, and sought reconstitution of the search committee in view of the guidelines set by the Higher Education Commission (HEC).
The petitioner’s counsel said the search committee shortlisted a number of candidates who were less qualified and less competent than the petitioner, who had been a senior member of the same university for 25 years. but despite that his application was rejected without considering his credentials or antecedents due to the bias of two search committee members.
