The Pakistan Institute of Legislative Development and Transparency (PILDAT) has issued a report detailing its assessment of the recently-concluded general election, expressing deep concerns over a decline in fairness scores compared to previous election cycles.
Islamabad: A Chinese student who has been pursuing her MPhil in the university has approached the high-ups in the university as well as in the government with serious allegations of sexual harassment against a senior professor in the Department of English.
The university has formed a three-member committee to probe the matter, the Geo News reported.
The Gomal University administration issued four separate notifications awarding the major penalty, dismissal from service, to four employees, two teaching and as many non-teaching, on charges of sexual harassment. They included Prof Dr Bakhtiar Khan, of the Institute of Business Administration, Imran Qureshi, assistant professor of the same department, Hikmatullah, game supervisor, and Hafeezullah, Lab attendant.
The action was taken days after the forced resignation of Dr Salahuddin, dean of arts and head of Arabic studies and research, who had to quit the institution after being found guilty of sexually harassing female students of the university.
The university administration had been left with no other option but to ask Dr Salahuddin to resign. He was then arrested by police and sent to jail. However, he has acquired bail from the court and is out of jail now.
