IIUI SPOKESPERSON DENOUNCES NEWS ITEM REGARDING MISMANAGEMENT AT VARSITY In response to a news item pertaining to the Daily Dawn News item titled, “Mismanagement Mars Islamic University’s affairs” by Kashif Abbasi, the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) spokesman said that news item does not represent actual facts while at this juncture when the university has recently achieved dynamic leadership in the form of appointments of its higher leadership and gearing up to further expedite its progress pace, news story like the one published in Daily Dawn is indeed most unfortunate and contrary to the facts. The spokesperson has categorically stated that Academic and administrative affairs of International Islamic University Islamabad are being run very smoothly and recent appointments of President and Rector on regular basis is a clear indicator in this regard. The spokesperson affirmed that IIUI administration is fully cognizant of its responsibilities being most important educational institution of Muslim Ummah. It has been taking all requisite steps to ensure the provision of quality education while all faculties and departments of the International Islamic University are being headed by senior faculty members having excellent academic record and robust administrative experience. He further stated that there was lack of senior professors in some faculties due to government’s ban on jobs (which is lifted only recently) and administrative responsibilities were given to Deputy Deans as an interim measure. Responding to the allegation of Deputy Dean’s posting against the rules, IIUI spokesperson clarified that position of Deputy Dean is a statutory position and in its recent meeting, the Board of Trustees of International Islamic University had fully endorsed it. While indicating the misreporting in the news item he added that the Faculty of Basic & Applied Sciences is headed by a fulltime Professor and likewise senior faculty members are looking after the affairs of Faculty of Arabic and Faculty of Languages and Literature. IIUI spokesperson said now when ban on jobs is lifted, the University administration is keen to fill permanent positions through a fair and competitive process. The University Spokesperson, while referring to the point mentioned regarding the inappropriate appointment of the head of physics at female campus, clarified Department of Physics in Female Campus is headed by faculty member who specializes in nanotechnology and this perfectly matches with the specialization of Physics program at IIUI. The IIUI spokesperson further clarified a statement attributed to Rector IIUI Dr Masoom Yasinzai regarding his recent request to Saudi authorities. Dr Masoom Yasinzai indeed said that during Board of Trustee’s recent meeting held in Saudi Arabia, university has requested to Board members to help IIUI in approaching senior faculty members. It is important to mention this year a record number of students have applied for admissions in dozens of degree programs across all faculties of the university which clearly reflects the confidence of students and parents in university.
