KARACHI, Aug 8: The Teachers’ Union of the University of Karachi held a meeting here on Wednesday in which the decision of imposing the Model University Ordinance in the Balochistan University has been condemned.

The KU teachers demanded that the decision should be taken back immediately.

They stressed the fact that “by imposing such a law on a university in Balochistan, the government is trying to distinguish between universities.”

The union also demanded that the vice-chancellor of the university, a retired army officer, be removed from his post.

The union urged the Higher Education Commission’s Chairman Dr Attaur Rehman, to take action against this decision.
