ISLAMABAD: Federation of All Pakistan Universities Academic Staff Association (FAPUASA) on Sunday strongly condemned the stance taken by “dictator-minded” and “incompetent” vice chancellors (VC) against academic staff associations before the Senate standing committee. They further said that only corrupt and ineligible vice chancellors had problems with the association of academic staff, otherwise the association had good and reasonable working relations with learned and academically sound vice chancellors. The statements given by the Punjab University (PU) and UoB vice chancellors in the senate committee were particularly criticised by FAPUASA members who declared them fake and far from the facts. They also said that the Senate standing committee should take notice of corrupt practices of vice chancellors who were involved in making money, awarding contracts illegally and abusing powers. They demanded from the legislators to give due consideration to the problems being faced by academic staff in the country and ensure that their issues were resolved on priority basis.
