KARACHI: The Vice-Chancellor of Benazir Bhutto University in Lyari has submitted his resignation from the post.
The vice-chancellor sent his resignation letter directly to Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah. He also explained the circumstances behind his decision.
According to the resignation letter, a group of university employees had been continuously pressuring the vice-chancellor. The employees had also been holding protests over their demands.
The outgoing VC claimed that the protests were motivated by political interests. He said the pressure was affecting the university’s administrative affairs.
Employees Sought Registrar’s Removal
According to the VC, the protesting employees wanted the administration to remove the university registrar.
However, he maintained that such administrative decisions should follow established laws and procedures. He opposed making institutional decisions under pressure from employees or other groups.
The vice-chancellor said university matters must be handled according to legal requirements. He indicated that continued pressure had made it difficult to perform his responsibilities independently.
His resignation has now brought attention to the administrative situation at Benazir Bhutto University.
Universities rely on senior officials to manage academic and administrative matters. The vice-chancellor holds a key position in overseeing institutional policies and operations.
The registrar also plays an important role in university administration. Any decision concerning senior officials normally requires established procedures and relevant legal requirements.
Resignation Sent to Sindh Chief Minister
The resignation was submitted to Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah because the provincial government oversees several administrative matters involving public universities.
The development could lead to further administrative steps concerning the leadership of the university. However, details about the acceptance of the resignation were not provided in the reference report.
It also remains unclear who will take charge if the resignation is formally accepted.
The reported dispute highlights ongoing tensions between the university administration and some employees. Further developments may clarify how the provincial authorities respond to the situation.
Benazir Bhutto University has not announced further leadership arrangements in the information available from the report.
