PREFACETO THE REVISED EDITION

Code of a University is an indispensible document providing information coveringall aspects of programs offered by the University and Act, statutes, Regulations

and Rules governing its functions.

The University of Sindh Code was last published in 1999, towards the end of my

first tenure as Vice Chancellor of the University. Since then, during the first ten

years of the 21st century Higher Education in Pakistan has gone through a

revolutionary phase under Higher Education Reforms that gave birth to the

Higher Education Commission of Pakistan.

With main focus of Higher Education as a means of ushering economic

development in the country and in an endeavor to find a respectable place for the

country in this world of knowledge-based economy, the whole scenario of HigherEducation has changed in the country where there were only 25 Universities in

2000; there are now more than 130 Universities and degree awarding institutions

catering to more than 2 million students against hardly 0.56 million pursuing

higher education at the turn of the century.

Not only academic programs but also Rules and Regulations relating to faculty

eligibility criteria have been revised and administrative set-up has been

revamped. A host of new Statutes & Regulations has been framed, passed by the

Competent Authorities to meet the vibrant academic environments’ evolving

needs, all of them scattered in files.

On assumption of office in 2010 for my 2nd

tenure to serve this revered AlmaMater, I realized the necessity of documenting all these changes that has led to

this revised edition of the University Code, to facilitate efficient functioning of the

University particularly on the face of its extensive out-research endeavor that has

resulted in establishment of nine campuses of the University in various rural

areas in Sindh to bring Higher Education to the doors of the poor and deprived in

far flung areas of the province.

Efforts have been made to update this edition as far as possible. However, this is

by no means exhaustive; there may have been omissions which will be taken

care of in later editions.

In the end I am grateful to Dr. M. Rais Ahmed, Retired Professor, who has beeninstrumental and architect of both editions. The faculty, students and officers are

grateful to Dr. Rais Ahmed for his untiring efforts to make the Code available in a

matter of few months.

Longlive Pakistan, Sindh and University of Sindh.

Prof. Dr. Nazir A. MughalVice Chancellor

E D I T O R ’ S N O T E

The task of preparing the revised and updated edition of the University of Sindh

Code; assigned to me was challenging one as at the Government of Pakistan at

last seriously paid its attention towards improving and revamping the higher

education in the county and Higher Education Commissions of Pakistan was

established in 2002, entrusted with the monument task.

The Commission took the challenge of reforming higher education in earnest and

drastically changing the pattern and practices in vogue, issued in host of revised

Rules regulation regarding academic programs, faculty appointments, and

research degree programs and training of faculty under its endeavor of capacity

building and development of Universities and degree awarding institution in the

country. This necessitated the revision and updating of the University Code

published in 1999.

Collecting and retrieving the data scattered through a host of files and Minutes

Books of various authorities of the University such as Syndicate, Senate and the

Academic Council, was quite painstaking. However, the task was made easier by

the cooperation received from all the officers and sectional heads concerned. The

cooperation received is gratefully acknowledged.

Thanks are also due to Mr. Nanik Ram Bhatia Secretary to the Vice Chancellor,

Mr. Muhammad Hanif Khan Superintendent, Mr. Mujeeb-ur-Rehman Jamali and

Mr. Ammer Ali Joyo, Data Entry Operator and Computer Programmer andMr. Liaquat Ali Chachar. Their patient effort at perfuming this additional duty

made this compilation possible.

I am grateful to Prof. Dr. Nazir A. Mughal Vice Chancellor, University of Sindh for

reposing the trust and confidence and guidance and providing necessary

wherewithal to accomplish this task.

It is also my pleasant duty to thank Manager, Sindh University Press, Mr. Murtaza

Sial and his staff for their cooperation in printing and processing this Code 2013.

50% of gross pension shall, however, continue to be admissible at the option of a pensioner.

Under the existing Pension Statutes of the University, if an employee dies while in service,gratuity in lieu of one-fourth of the gross pension s allowed. In such cases, the rate of gratuityas from 01.07.1986 will be determined on the basis of age next birthday of the deceasedemployee in accordance with the new Commutation Table referred to above, vide order

No. Admn:/2612 dated 24.07.1986.Restoration of ¼th amount of gross pension amended compulsorily in lieu of gratuity

Under the existing Statutes a pensioner of the University of Sindh is eligible to commute at hisoption 50% of his gross pension.

Under Government of Pakistan, Financedivision’s Office Memorandum No. F. 10(8)-Reg (6)/85 dated 25.6.1985, ¼th amount ofcommutation was restored to the pensioners out-living the period of commutation. TheVice-Chancellor has now been pleased to decide that pensioners of the University of Sindhwho availed the benefit of gratuity only and had not drawn commutation shall also be restoredthe amount of gratuity (¼th of gross pension) only as and when they out-live the period forwhich the gratuity was paid.

In restoring the amount of gratuity, the rate of gratuity would be divided by 12 to arrive at theperiod of gratuity. For instance if a pensioner had received the gratuity at the rate of Rs.160/-his period of gratuity would work out to 13.33.

While restoring the amount of gratuity, fraction of a year which is less than 6 months will beignored and that of 6 months and more will count as one year.

No arrears on account of restoration of the amount of gratuity will be payable in any case forthe period prior to 1.7.1986 due to the completion of the period for which gratuity was paid, videorder No. Admn:/2613 dated 24.7.1986.

1. Initial fixation of pay with effect from 1.7.1983 in the Basic Pay Scales on point to pointbasis, the pay of a junior person in higher stages of a lower Revised National Pay Scalehas exceeded the pay of his senior who had been promoted to a higher post prior to theintroduction of the scheme of Basic Pay Scales, 1983 and was drawing pay at the initialstages of the Revised National Pay Scales on the eve of introduction of Basic Pay ScalesScheme on 1.7.1983. The position would be clear from the following illustration:

“Mr. ‘A’ while in receipt of Rs.1510/- in RNPS-17 was promoted to RNPS-18 in May, 1983and his pay was fixed at Rs.1650/-. On the introduction of Basic Pay Scales with effectfrom 1.7.1983, the pay of Mr. “A” was fixed at Rs.2700/- in the Basic Pay Scale-18".

As against the above, Mr. ‘B’ Junior to Mr. ‘A’ was also drawing pay of Rs.1510/- inRNPS-17 on 20.6.1983. On the introduction of the Scheme of Basic Scales, his paywas fixed at Rs.2920/- in B-17. Thus the pay of Mr. ‘B’ has exceeded the pay of Mr. ‘A’

by Rs.220/-

Similar situation may also arise in other pay scales.

2. Considering the hardship involved in the cases referred to above, it has been decided thatwhere, as a direct result of the fixation of pay in Basic Pay Scale on point to point basis, thepresumptive pay of the lower substantive post held by a Government servant continuouslyfor 3 years, or would have been so held had he not been promoted to the higher post,should exceed the pay of the higher post in which he officiates, he will draw pay of thelower substantive post for so long as it exceeds the pay of the higher post.

Leave encashment of 180 days in lieu of L.P.R.

Under the existing policy of Government, an employee can be granted leave encashment for amaximum period of 180 days subject to condition that he would not take any kind of leave (except

casual leave) during L.P.R. period of 365 days. In case he takes any kind of leave other thancasual leave during L.P.R. period, his leave encashment period will be forfeited by 50% of theleave taken by him. There are, however, no orders of the Government to the grant of leaveencashment period in case total L.P.R. of a Government servant is less than 365 days. This pointwas discussed with Mr. Anwer Beg Mirza, Deputy Secretary (Regulation), Sindh FinanceDepartment. He was not clear on this point and informed that a reference was being made toother three Provincial Governments and Federal Government in order to know the exactprocedure being followed by them in such cases. The matter was discussed about four monthsback and till today no clarification has been received from the Provincial Finance Department.

The matter was discussed with Mr. Nizamuddin P. Mangi, Treasury Officer, Hyderabad. He isvery clear on this issue. He informed that whatever leave is due to an employee during L.P.R.period i.e. 365 days before the date of superannuation is to be sanctioned as LeaveEncashment subject to maximum of 180 days. In other words even the total leave due duringL.P.R. period of 365 days is 180 days, he may be sanctioned 180 days as Leaves

Encashment. However, in case of leave is due181 or 220 or 365 days, he be given 180 daysbenefit of Leave Encashment. In case any leave other than casual leave is taken during L.P.R.period of 365 days, the leave taken would be forfeited by 50%; in case he takes 30 days leavehis leave Encashment would be forfeited by 15 days.

Since there are no clear instructions of Provincial or Federal Government on this subject, wemay in the university grant Leave Encashment benefit upto 180 days even the total leave dueduring L.P.R. period is less than 365 days. In case the total leave due during L.P.R. period of365 days is less than 180 days, the benefit of Leave Encashment may be given for the totalnumber of days of leave actually due.




121

No formal circular may be issued and only the above policy may be adopted by the Administration and Finance Wings at the time of examining the cases of Leave Encashment inlieu of L.P.R. We may however, take undertaking from the employees that in case clarificationis received from the Provincial or Federal Government contrary to the above policy beingadopted for the time being by the University, the excess amount paid will be recovered frommonthly pension.

REGULATION FOR PROMOTION OF RESEARCH CULTURE IN THEUNIVERSITY OF SINDH

The Syndicate in its 182nd meeting held on18.07.2012, resolved vide Resolution No.3(xvi) thatthe action taken by the Vice Chancellor in approving Minutes of the Committee appointed forthis purpose of promotion of Research Culture in the University of Sindh be noted andapproved.

The Minutes of the Committee Meeting held on 04.11.2011 are as under:

The Committee deliberated the single item Agenda, i.e., Promotion of Research Culture in

the Universi ty in the light of the Note referred above and submitted to the Vice Chancellor.

The Committee was unanimous in adopting all means to promote research in the University.

The proposal of funding faculty’s research projects would also involve M.Phil . / Ph.D. studiesand would lead to increase in the number of M.Phils / Ph.Ds produced and the research paperspublished as a result of their research output, that would go a long way in improving theranking of the University.

The Committee thanked the Vice-Chancellor for providing an allocation of Rs.21.0 for researchin the University Budget for 2010-2011, as informed by the Director Finance.It is agreed that all efforts be made to encourage the faculty to submit short term (2-year)Research Projects.

As regard quantum of funding of these project the Deans Committee recommended that,keeping in view the price spiral, the project ’s cost be extended upto Rs.500,000 toRs.1.0 million. It may not involve cost of any major equipment.

It was further resolved that Reviewer Experts be offered Rs.5000/- for expeditionsresponse, as per HEC practice in this regard.

It was also resolved that Research Project proposal on the approved proforma besubmitted by the Principal investigator to the Dean, Research who will after initial scrutinyrefer it for Expert Report. On receipt of positive comments the Project along with expertoption will be referred to the Faculty Research Committee for final decision. It wasdecided that projects will be processed on first come first serve basis. All the process is tobe completed within maximum period of three months.

The Faculty Research Committee is to comprise: -

1. Dean of the Faculty2. Dean Research and Graduate Studies.3. Director / Chairperson of the Institute / Department Concerned.

4. Principal Investigator of the Project.

The Faculty Research Committees recommendation for funding in case of approval of project,are to be forwarded to the Director Finance for release of funds.

This Committee further requests the Vice Chancellor to grant funds for basic infrastructurerequirements for research to the departments particularly under Natural Science Faculty, thathas been a stumbling block in encouraging faculty to pursue research who come up withexcuses that facilities are not available. The funds available under Self Finance allocation forconcerned department’s development, may be utilized for this purpose.




231

In addition to that, as a further incentive faculty publishing papers in approved research journals and impact factor journals abroad, be paid Rs.10000/- per paper.

Amended procedure for determining GPA / CGPA

The Academic Council in its meeting held on 12.12.2007 approved the proposal that incalculating GPA / CGPA percent marks scored within the grade range be used instead ofabosolute numerical value of the grade as it will substentionally improve the GPA / CGPA,effecting the overall results.

It implies that, e.g., two students with the score of 50 and 55 marks both in ‘C’ Grade, in a

course of 4 CH, both will earn 8 QPs as per grade value but if calculated on point topoint basis i.e., on percentage marks obtained by each of them, while the student with50 marks will earn 8 QPs, the one with 55 marks will earn 10 QPs.

It implies that candidate scoring more marks will earn more quality points which in turn,will improve his / her overall GPA / CGPA. It would be helpful in ranking top student andwould particularly impact the final result in marginal cases.

Cancellation of Admission

If a student fails to attend any lecture during the first four weeks of the commencement of thesemester as per announced schedule, his/ her admission shall stand cancelled automaticallywithout any notice.

General Introduction

This document contains the Model Track Process. Statutes that specify the rules andregulations pertaining to implementation and execution of the Tenure Track process atinstitutes of higher Learning, i.e. degree granting institutions, in Pakistan. Since thegovernance and management structure of a university varies across the various institutionsthese Statutes have been prepared for a model institutions in which the Senate is thegoverning body, the Syndicate is management body and certain statutory committees are inplace to oversee the process of implementation of the procedure described in this document.

In consultation with the Higher Education Commission each institution may modify thesemodel Tenure Tract Statutes in light of their particular nature and circumstances. Thesemodifications, however, are to be minor in nature and may not alter the fundamental spirit ofthe tenure track process of an open recognition of merit, with grant of permanence of

employment only on demonstration of excellence as determined by a body containinginternational experts in the relevant subject matter.

Each institution may enact the approved Tenure Track Statutes following their respectiveprocess of enactment of statutes. Such institutions will subsequently be eligible to receiveadditional Government funding for tenure track appointments.

MODEL TENURE TRACK PROCESS STATUTES

1. Appointments and Promotions

The University's policy on appointments (including subsequent reappointments) and onpromotions follows herewith. It expresses the institutional philosophy in these matters anddescribes that qualification for the various ranks in terms of four major areas of consideration,

together with indications of the relative importance of these areas and possible sources ofinformation for evaluations.

General Introduction.

a. Ultimate decisions in matters of appointment and promotion in rank are made on theauthority of the Senate. Initial recommendations, however, are made at thedepartmental level (or college level where colleges are not divided into departments);although a recommendation maybe submitted by any member of the faculty. Theserecommendations are then reviewed by the administrative officers most directlyinvolved and are forwarded with their recommendations to the Vice Chancellor of theUniversity who transmits them to the Syndicate and Senate. Recommendations atthe departmental level will be given most serious consideration in this procedure.“The matter be brought to the notice of the Senate through the Selection 'Board andthe Syndicate".

b. Recommendations for appointment also involve decisions regarding temporary orprobationary status: The precise terms and conditions of every new appointment tothe faculty shall be stated in writing and given to the faculty member before theappointment is made. In case of reduction of the length of the probationary period,the matter should be clearly stated in writing and agreed toat the time of appointment; in the case of promotions of faculty members notalready having tenure, tenure expectations may need to be considered, although thethe tenure decision is a separate matter. A copy of this statement of policy shall alsobe given to the faculty member before his appointment.




398

c. The University may make the following types of appointments of new facultymembers:

a. Temporary Appointments. b. Tenure Track Appointments

i. First term Appointments.ii. Second term (Probationary) Appointments.iii. Tenured Appointments

d. Any graduate of the University shall not be eligible for appointment on tenure track inthe same department of that University where he/she has obtained his/her terminaldegree for at least 3-years following his/her graduation.

1.2 Bases for Appointment and Promotion

For appointment or for promotion to a higher rank, a candidate is evaluated in terms of

effectiveness in four principal areas:1. Teaching2. Scholarship, research, or other creative work3. Service4. Personal characteristics

Not all faculty members excel in each of these areas, but distinction or promise,especially in either of the first two; constitute the chief basis for appointment andpromotion. Even though teaching maybe more difficult to evaluate than scholarship,research, or creative work, it should not therefore be given a place of secondaryconsideration in an overall rating. The last two categories are important but normallyround out and complement the qualities presented in the first two areas.

1.2.1 Teaching

Teaching is admittedly difficult to define precisely or to assess accurately. It is commonlyconsidered to include a person’s knowledge of the major field of study, awareness ofdevelopments in it, skill in communicating to students and in arousing their interest, ability tostimulate them to think critically, to have them appreciate the interrelationship of fields ofknowledge, and to be concerned with applications of knowledge to vital human problem.

1.2.2 Scholarship, Research, or Other Creative Work.

A faculty member’s scholarship, research, and other creative work should make a contributionto the particular field of interest and serve as an indication of professional competence. Theresult of this kind of activity normally finds expression in publication or other media appropriateto the field, and where appropriate, should be reflected in teaching. In no case, however,should a person’s productive effort be measured by mere quantity.

1.2.3 Service

This term refers specifically to service to the University community, as in committeeassignments, and to public service. It also has reference to service to one’s profession,usually identified by time and effort given to professional organizations, whether of state,regional, national, or international character. Not least of the services rendered are those thatconcern the local community in which the University is located, and the country at large. Anoutstanding service record should be a positive factor in making an evaluation, but the lack ofsuch a record should not be regarded as sufficient cause for denying an appointment orpromotion.




399

1.2.4 Personal Characteristics

This category may be considered to include all traits which contribute to an individual’seffectiveness as a teacher, as a leader in a professional area, and as a human being. Ofprimary concern here all intellectual breadth, emotional stability or maturity, and a sufficientvitality and forcefulness to constitute effectiveness. There must also be a sufficient degree ofcompassion and willingness to cooperate, so that an individual can work harmoniously withothers while maintaining independence of thought and action. This category is so broad thatflexibility is imperative in its appraisal.

1.3 Sources of Information

It is not easy to come to clear and definite decisions about the criteria on which a candidate is

judged, even when the information is at hand. The suggestions that follow have been founduseful and appropriate in identifying sources of information.

1.3.1 Teaching

a. Consult colleagues in the candidate’s field and those in allied fields.

b. Seek out student opinion. In the absence of a reliable system for course teachingevaluation, this method needs to be used with great care.

c. Gather reports on colloquia, seminars, etc. given in the department or elsewhere witha view to assess the quality of presentation with respect to subject content,organization and communication.

d. Consult course files.

e. Gather reports on guidance and leadership in student activities

f. Gather reports on initiation and participation in curriculum development e.g. newcourses, new programs, etc.

g. Teaching load.

1.3.2 Scholarship, Research, or Other Creative Work

a. Seek the judgments of professional colleagues both on and off campus.

b. Assess any published material in terms of its content and in terms of the journals, orother aspects, in which it appears; or assess any creative work in terms of its publicpresentation and reception.

c. Evaluate the work that the candidate may have done as consultant.

d. Take into consideration the papers presented at professional meetings, whether ofstate, regional, national, or international scope.

e. Gather reports of specific projects undertaken and ascertain the success achieved inthe past as well as the prospects of success for the future. Remember that importantprojects may require many years before they can be presented to the public.




400

1.3.3 Service

a. An indication of service sometimes appears in biographical records that are to besubmitted by each faculty member at the end of each year of service. This however,may not be the case because degrees of modesty vary.

b. In the case of new appointments, one must depend primarily upon the informationobtained from letters of recommendation or other such sources.

c. For promotions, the biographical record with its annual supplements collected in theoffice of the Registrar of the University, should constitute a fairly complete record.However, one should also consult the candidate’s colleagues for additionalinformation.

1.4 Specific Qualifications for Appointment and Promotion

a. The following statements should be looked upon as firm but not absolute guidelinesgoverning normal promotion. Special procedures are sometimes required in unusualcircumstances, where too strict adherence to the rule could well be disadvantageousto the University. Also, qualifications differ in the various fields. Customary degreesor their equivalents should be required, recognizing that these requirements differaccording to the standards in the various fields.

b. In general, possession of a Doctorate, or equivalent, degree is required in acandidate to be appointed to the post of Assistant Professor, or above.

1.4.1 The Junior Ranks

1.4.1.1 Lecturer

This rank is most appropriate for persons beginning their teaching careers. It should be used

by any department or Faculty which finds it convenient and appropriate to include lecturer-shipwithin its faculty rankings. It can also be used for persons needed to fill temporary posts underemergency conditions. As with any appointment, the status should be made clear and put inwriting at the time of employment.

a. A person who is primarily a graduate student may not be given a facultyappointment. Such a person may be appointed as a teaching assistant or teachingassociate, in accordance with University policies.

b. Lecturers are appointed with the understanding that they will not be promoted toprofessorial rank unless they obtain a Ph.D. degree or an equivalent.

1.4.1.2 Assistant Professor

a. An assistant professor should be demonstrably competent in the subject matter areaof courses taught and should have indicated a serious commitment to teaching, but it

need not be expected that an extensive reputation in the field has been acquired. Asthe assistant professor continues in this rank an effort to increase knowledge andimprove teaching ability should be demonstrated, and professional presentationshould be made through papers to professional organizations, through publications,or through other creative work.

b. As general rule, the length of service in the rank of Assistant Professor before beingconsidered for promotion to the rank of associate professor is 4 (four) years.Recommendations for promotion in less time should be carefully weighed and

justified by the administrative officer making such recommendation.




401

1.4.2 The Senior Ranks

Appointment or promotion to either senior rank should represent an implicit predictionon the part of the department, college, and university that the individual will continueto make sound contributions to teaching and learning. It should be made only aftercareful investigation of the candidate's promise in scholarship, in teaching, and inleadership and learning. By this statement is meant that serious attention must begiven to the caliber of the candidate's intellectual and moral stature, for this willprobably be the key factor in determining the extent to which past performance inteaching and in creative work may be expected to carryon through continuingcontributions. Deans and Departmental Chairpersons normally will look to the seniorranks for advice and counsel regarding policy matters, including appointment andpromotion. Also, service's rendered 10 communities and agencies or organizations inthe candidate's professional capacity should certainly be considered in assessingqualifications for advancement to senior ranks

1.4.2.1 Associate Professor

a. The criteria for appointment or promotion to an associate professorship differ fromthose for a professorship in degree rather than in kind. The candidate for associateprofessor should offer evidence of knowledge of developments in the field ofexpertise and a conscientious interest in improving teaching methods. It is expectedthat an associate professor shall already have shown a basic general understandingwith regard to a large part of the discipline.

b. As a general rule, the length of service in the rank of associate professor beforebeing considered for promotion to full professor is 4 (four) years Recommendationsfor promotion in less time should be carefully weighed and justified by theadministrative-officer making the recommendation.

1.4.2.2 Professor

a. Faculty member appointed to the rank of Professor is expected to have had animpact on the state of knowledge. It is expected that the professor will continue todevelop and mature with regard to teaching, research, and other qualities thatcontributed to earlier appointments. Consideration for this appointment shouldinclude particular attention to the quality and significance of contributions to thecandidate's field, sensitivity and interest in the general problems of universityeducation and their social implications, and ability to make constructive judgmentsand decisions in regard thereto. It should be kept in mind that the full Professors arelikely to be the most enduring group in the faculty and are those who will giveleadership and set the tone for the entire faculty.

1.5 Temporary Appointment

a. Temporary one-year appointments may be made for faculty members, appointed asvisiting professors, to fill positions funded by other than Government appropriatedfunds, to replace faculty members on leave, or, whenever an appointment has to .bemade so late that normal search' procedures cannot be followed. With the exceptionof appointments made without a normal search procedure, faculty members on suchappointments may be reappointed for a second or third year if mutually agreeable tothe faculty member and the department and faculty involved or they may bereappointed under a term appointment. Full-time, temporary appointments notnormally lead to permanent tenure. They shall not exceed a total of three yearsexcept in the case of an explicit exception granted by the University Senate.




402

b. Temporary appointments may also be made for the, positions of Research Associates working towards their Ph.D. degree, as well as for Post-Doctoral Fellowsworking with search group for a limited period. Such positions may be funded byother than Government-appropriated funds.

2. Tenure Track Appointments

Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good and not to further theinterest of either the individual teacher' or the institution as a whole; the common gooddepends upon the free search for truth and its free exposition. Academic freedom is essentialto these purposes and applies to both teaching and research. Freedom in research isfundamental to the advancement of truth. Academic freedom in its teaching aspect isfundamental for the protection of the rights of the teacher in teaching and of the student tofreedom in learning. It carries with it duties correlative with rights.

“The Tenure Track programme would help to get appointment based on merit”

2.1 The Tenure Track Process

The tenure track process normally involves an initial term contract appointment of a facultymember for a period of three years. For a faculty member appointed at a junior rank (nothigher than Assistant Professor) it will be followed by a second term: contract appointment foran additional period of three years. A tenure decision must be made for such a facultymember in the third year of the second term contract appointment. Faculty members initiallyappointed at a junior rank will thus normally serve six years before a final tenure decision ismade.' For a faculty member appointed at a senior rank (Associate and Full Professor) theprobationary period shall normally be three years for associate professor and two years for afull professor. The services of a faculty member having tenure shall be terminated only for

adequate cause, except at the normal retirement age or under extraordinary circumstancesdiscussed in these statutes.

403

d. If the University's need for flexibility requires that a faculty member judged worthy ofretention not be retained, the Vice Chancellor must explain to the FacultyDevelopment; Evaluation and Recruitment Committee of the concerned Faculty, whythere is a need for flexibility regarding this particular position; and 'show that theadministration's plans for the academic and fiscal nature of that position arereasonable. If the Vice Chancellor decides that the University's need for flexibilityrequires that the faculty position in question must be eliminated, shifted within thedepartment, or shifted to another department or Faculty and/or if the Vice Chancellordetermines that because the percentage of tenured positions or a combination oftenured and probationary positions) in the department is so high as to make it unwiseto authorize an additional probationary appointment, the Dean of the concernedFaculty, respective Department Chairperson and faculty member concerned shall benotified as early in the third year as possible.

1 APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS

The University policy on appointment (including subsequent reappointments) and onpromotions f ollows her ewith. It expresses the institutional philosophy in these matters anddescribes the qualifications for the var ious ranks in terms of f our ma jor areas of consideration,together with indications 9f the relative importance of these areas and possible sources ofinformation for evolutions.

1.1 General Introduction

a. Ultimate decisions in matters of appointment and promotion in rank are made on theauthority of the Senate. Initial recommendations, however, are made at thedepartmental level (or college level where colleges are not divided into departments),although a recommendation may be submitted by any member of the faculty. Theserecommendations are then reviewed by the administrative officers most directlyinvolved and are forwarded with their recommendations to the Vice Chancellor of theUniversity who transmits them to the Syndicate & Senate. Recommendations at thedepartment level through the dean will be given most serious consideration in thisprocedure. The matter be brought to the notice of the Senate through the SelectionBoard and the Syndicate.

b. Recommendations for appointment also involve decisions regarding temporary orprobationary status. The precise terms and conditions of every new appointment tothe faculty shall be stated in writing and given to the faculty member before theappointment in made. In cases of reduction of the length of the probationary periodthe matter should be clearly stated in writing and agreed to at the time of appointment.In the case of promotions of faculty member not already having tenure, tenureexpectations may need to be considered, though the tenure decision is a separatematter. A copy of this statement of policy shall also the given to the faculty memberbefore his appointment.




412

c. The University may make the following types of appointments of new members:

i. Temporary Appointments

ii. Tenure Track Appointments

(a) First term appointments.(b) Second term (Probationar y) appointments. (c) Tenured appointments

d. A faculty member on Tenure Track may be appointed to any academic administrativepost in the university such as Director Research, chairman, Dean, etc.

e. Once a University/Degree Awarding Institution has adopted the Tenure Track Systemof appointment no further appointment of PhD degree holders may be made as

Assistant Professors under the old (BPS) system. Such faculty members must be

recruited under the Tenure Track scheme provided funds are made available by HEC.

f. The Seniority of a teacher in each cadre of the university shall be determined on thebasis of the date of joining in each cadre irrespective whether the teacher has joined on BPS or TTS. In case of employees joining on the same date, seniority shall bedetermined on the basis of date of birth, as per relevant Sindh University rules.

1.2 Bases for appointment and promotion

For appointment, or for promotion to a higher rank, a candidate is evaluated in terms ofeffectiveness in four principal ar eas:

1. Teaching2. Scholar ship, resear ch, or other creative work3. Ser vice

4. Per sonal characteristicsNot all faculty members excel in each of these area, but distinction or promise, especially ineither of the first two; constitute the chief basis f or appointment and promotion. Even thoughteaching may be more difficult to evaluate than scholarship, research, or creative work, itshould not therefore be given a place of secondary consideration in an overall rating. The lasttwo categories of service and personal characteristics are of secondary importance andnormally round out and complement the qualities presented in the first two areas.

1.2.1 Teaching

Teaching is admittedly difficult to define precisely or to assess accurately. It is commonlyconsidered to include a person's knowledge of the major f ield of study ,awareness ofdevelopments in it, skill in communicating to students and in arousing their interest, ability tosimulate them to think critically, to have them appreciate the interrelat ionship of fields of

knowledge, and to be concerned with applications of knowledge to vital human pr oblems.

1.2.2 Scholarship, Research, or other creative work

A faculty member's scholarship, research, and other creative work should make a contributionto the particular field of interest and serve as an indication of professional competence. Theresult of this kind of activity normally finds expression in publication brother media appropriateto the field, and where appointment should be r eflected in teaching. In no case, however, should a person's productive effort be measured by mere quantity.




413

1.2.3 Service

This-term refers specifically to service to the University community, as in committeeassignments; and to public service. It also has r eference to service to one's profession, usuallyidentified, by time and effort given to pr ofessional or ganizations, whether of Provincial,regional, national, or international character . Not least of the ser vices rendered are those thatconcern the local community in which the University is located, and the country at large. Anoutstanding service r ecord should be a positive factor in making an evolution, but the lack ofsuch a recor d should' not be regarded as sufficient cause for denying an appointment orpromotion.

1.2.4 Personal Characteristics

This category may be considered to include all traits which contribute to an individual's

effectiveness as a teacher, as a leader in a professional area, and as a human being ofPrimary concern here are intellectual breadth emotional stability or maturity, and a sufficientvitality and forcefulness to constitute effectiveness. There must also be a sufficient degr ee ofcompassion f orcefulness to constitute ef f ectiveness. There must also be a sufficient degr ee ofcompassion and willingness to cooper ate, so that an individual" can work harmoniously withothers while maintaining independence of thought and action. This category is so broad thatflexibility is imperative in its appraisal.

1.3 Sources of Information

It is not easy to come to clear and definite decisions about the criteria on which a candidate is judged, even when the information is at hand. The suggestions that follow have been founduseful and appropriate in identifying sources of information.

1.3.1 Teaching

i. Consult colleagues in the candidate's field and those in allied field.

ii. Seek out student opinion, in the absence of a reliable· system for course/teachingevolution; this method needs to be used with great care.

iii. Gather reports on colloquia, seminars, etc. given in the department or elsewhere witha view to assess the quality of presentation with respect to subject content,organization and view to assess the quality of presentation with respect to subjectcontent, organization and communication.

iv. Consult course files.

v. Gather reports on guidance and leadership in student activities.

vi. Gather reposts on initiation and participation in curriculum development e.g. new

course, new programs, etc.

vii. Teaching load.

1.3.2 Scholarship, Research, or other creative work

a. Seek the judgments of professional colleagues both on and off campus.

b. Assess any published material in terms of its content and in terms of the journals, orother auspices, in which it appears; or asses any creative work in terms of its publicpresentation and reception.




414

c. Evolution the work that the candidate may do as consultant.

d. Take into consideration the M.Phil. and Ph.D. produced and currently under supervisionprofessional meetings, whether of state, regional, national, or international scope.

e. Gather reports of specific projects undertaken and ascertain the success achieved inthe past as well as the prospects of success for the future. Remember that importantprojects may require many years before they can be presented to the public.

1.3.3 Service

a. An indication of service sometimes appears in biographical records that are to besubmitted by each faculty member at the end of each year of service. This, however,may not be the case because degrees of modesty vary.

b. In the case of new appointments, one must depend primarily upon the informationobtained from letters of recommendation or other such sources.

c. For promotions, the biographical record with its annual I supplements collected in theoffice of the Registrar of the University should constitute a fairly complete record.

d. However, one should also consult the candidate’s colleagues for additionalinformation.

1.3.4 Personal Characteristics.

a. Clues to traits of character may be found in the dossier of an appointee when theletter of recommendations are included.

b. For promotions, confidential reports from colleagues and others acquainted with thecandidate will constitute the primary source of information regarding personal

characteristics; such reports must obviously be treated with great circumspection.

1.4 Specific Qualifications for appointment and promotion.

a. To be considered for appointment on Tenure Track the candidate is required to resignor retire from any position held previously in any public / private institution orOrganization, except in the case that the candidate is, incumbent of the sameuniversity.

b. The following statements should be looked upon as firm but not absolute guidelinesgoverning normal promotion. Special procedures are sometimes required in unusualcircumstances, where too strict adherence to the' rule could well be disadvantageousto the University. Also, qualifications differ in the various fields. Customary degrees ortheir equivalents should be required, recognizing that these requirements differaccording to the standards in the various fields.

c. Possession of a Doctorate/relevant terminal qualification is required by a candidate tobe appointed to the post of Assistant Professor, or above.

d. The relevant terminal qualification in the case of a faculty member in the' ClinicalMedical Science discipline would be MSIMD / MDS / M.Phil FCPS(Pakistan) /Membership of Royal College (UK) / Diplomat of American Board and equivalent (asdetermined by HEC). In the case of Law the relevant terminal qualification would beLim (law) or JD. In the case of Arts and Design (Studio Practice) the relevant terminalqualification would be· Master's (Foreign) or M.Phil or equivalent degree in therelevant field as determined by the HEC.




415

e. A faculty member appointed under the Tenure Track scheme may not take up anyother paid assignment with any other organization, without the approval of the Vice -Chancellor of the respective Institution.

1.4.1 The Junior Ranks1.4.1.1 Lecturer (On Contract)

This rank is most appropriate, for persons beginning their teaching careers. It should be usedby any, department or faculty which finds it convenient and appropriate to include lectureshipwithin its faculty rankings. It can also be used for persons needed to fill temporary posts underemergency conditions. As with any appointment, the status should be made clear and put inwriting at the time of employment.

a. A person who is primarily a graduate student may not be given a faculty appointment.

Such a person may be appointed as a teaching assistant or teaching associate, inaccordance with University policies.

b. Lecturers are appointed with the understanding that they will not be promoted toprofessorial rank unless they obtain a Ph.D. degree' or relevant terminal qualification.

1.4.1.2 Assistant Professor

a. To be appointed as an Assistant Professor on Tenure Track, the candidate is requiredto have a Ph.D/Relevant terminal qualification from a recognized institution andexcellent written communication skills as well as excellent presentation skills. An

Assistant Professor should be demonstrably competent in the subject matter area ofcourses taught and should have indicated a serious commitment to teaching, but itneed not be expected that an extensive reputation in the field has been acquired. Asthe Assistant Professor continues in this rank, an effort to increase knowledge and

improve teaching ability should be demonstrated, and professional presentationshould be made through papers to professional organization and through othercreative work.

b. As a general rule the length of service in the rank of Assistant Professor before beingconsidered for promotion to the rank of Associate Professor is six years.Recommendations for promotion· after first term review should be carefully weighedand justified by the administrative officer making such recommendation.

1.4.2 The Senior Ranks

Appointment or promotion to either senior rank should represent an implicit prediction on thepart of the departments, college and University that the individual will continue to make soundcontributions to teaching 'and learning. It should be made only after careful investigation of thecandidate's promise in scholarship, in teaching, and in leadership and learning. By thisstatement is meant that serious attention must be given to the caliber of the candidate'sintellectual and moral stature, for this will probably be the key factor in determining the extent towhich past performance in teaching and in creative work may be expected to carry on throughcontinuing contributions. Deans and departmental chairpersons normally will look to the seniorranks for advice and counsel regarding policy matters, including appointment and promotion.

Also services rendered to communities and agencies or organization in the candidate'sprofessional capacity should certainly be considered in assessing qualification foradvancement to senior ranks.




416

1.4.2.1 Associate Professor

a. The criteria for appointment on promotion to an associate professorship differ fromthose for a professorship in degree rather than in kind. The candidate for AssociateProfessor should offer evidence of knowledge of developments in the field of expertiseand a conscientious interest in improving teaching methods. It is expected that an

Associate Professor shall already have shown a basic general understanding withregard to a large part of the discipline.

b(i) Appointment of existing Associate Professor having 6-years post-Ph.D. experiencefrom amongst working Associate Professor.

The Associate Professors who have already been appointed in the recognizedUniversities I Institutions as an Associate Professor on the basis of research paperspublished in journals of National and International repute, be appointed as

The experience to be counted is to be ofteaching/research in a recognized University or a post-graduate Institution orprofessional experience in the relevant field in a National or InternationalOrganization. In addition, 10 research publications (With at least 4 publications inthe past 5 years) in Internationally Abstracted Journal, recognized for the purposeof appointment on Tenure Track by the Higher Education Commission, arerequired.

c. As a general rules the length of service in the rank of associate professor before beingconsidered for promotion to full Professor is five years with at least 4 publications inthe past 5 years in international repute / HEC recognized Journals. Recommendationsfor promotion in less time should be carefully weighed and justified' by theadministrative officer making the recommendation.

1.4.2.2 Professor

a. A faculty member appointed to the rank of Professor is expected to have had animpact on the state of knowledge. It is expected that the professor will continue todevelop and mature with regard to teaching, research, and other qualities withcontributed to earlier appointments. Consideration for this appointment should includeparticular attention to the quality and significance of contributions to the candidate'sfield, sensitivity and interest in the general problems of' university education and their

social implications, and ability to make constructive judgments and decisions in regardthereto. It should be kept in mind that the full professors are likely to be the mostenduring group in the faculty and are those who will give leadership and set the tonefor the entire University.

.b(i) Appointment of existing' Professor having 11years post-Ph.D. experience from

amongst working professors who have already been· appointed In the recognizedUniversity Institute as Professor on the basis of research papers published in journalsof National and International repute, with at least 5 publications in past 5 years in HECrecognized Journal of International repute be appointed as Professor under TenureTrack System.

c. As a general rule, the length of service in the rank of associate professor before beingconsidered for promotion to full professor is five years. Recommendations forpromotion in less time should be carefully weighed and justified by the administrativeofficer making the recommendation.

1.5 Temporary appointment

a. Temporary one-year appointments may be made for faculty members appointed asvisiting professor, to fill positions funded, by other than Government-appropriatedfunds, to replace faculty members on leave, or whenever an appointment has to bemade so late that normal search procedures cannot be followed. With the exception ofappointments made without a normal search procedure, faculty members on suchappointments may be reappointed for a second or third year if mutually agreeable tothe faculty member and the department and Faculty involved, or they may bereappointed under a term appointment. Fulltime, temporary appointments shall notnormally lead to permanent tenure. They shall not exceed a total of three years exceptin the case of an explicit exception granted by the University Senate. .

2. TENURE TRACK APPOINTMENTS

Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good and not to furtherthe interest of either the individual teacher' or the institution as a whole. The commongood depends upon the free search for truth and its free exposition. Academicfreedom is essential to these purposes and applies to both teaching and research.Freedom in research is fundamental to the advancement of truth. Academic freedomin its teaching aspect is fundamental for the protection of1he-rights of the teacher inteaching and of the student to freedom in learning. It carries with it duties correlativewith rights. .

Tenure is a means to certain ends; specifically: (1) freedom of teaching and ofextramural activities, and (2) a sufficient degree of economic security to make theprofession attractive to men and women of ability. Freedom and economic security,hence tenure, are indispensable to the success of an institution in fulfilling itsobligations to its students and to society.




418

2.1 The Tenure Track Process

a. The tenure track process normally involves an initial term contract appointment of afaculty member for a period of three years. For a faculty member appointed at a juniorrank (not higher than Assistant Professor) it will be followed by a second term contractappointment for an additional period of three years. A tenure decision must be madefor such a faculty member in the third year of the second term contract appointment.Faculty members initially appointed at a junior rank will thus normally serve six years,before a final tenure decision is made. For a faculty member appointed at a seniorrank (Associate and Full Professor) the probationary period shall normally be fouryears for associate and professor. The services of a faculty members having tenureshall be terminated only for adequate cause, except at the normal retirement age orunder extraordinary circumstances decision in these statutes.

i. Should not have served as Supervisor/Co-Supervisor of the candidateunder review.

ii. Should not have been a student of the candidate.iii. Should not have been a co-author' of the candidate on any publication.

iv. Must have the tank of an Associate Professor or above in a recognizeduniversity or equivalent position in a recognized research organization. He/Shealso must not have a lower rank than the applicant.

d. Upon receipt of application for appointment on the Tenure Track scheme at the Associate / Full Professor level by eligible candidates, the respective institution isrequired to process the application by first obtaining the recommendation of, theexternal Technical Review Panel. Upon receipt of the favorable recommendation fromthis panel the matter is to be placed for consideration by the Selection Board of theInstitute. However, the application for the position from existing Professor/AssociateProfessor and Assistant Professor will be placed directly to the Selection Board afterinternal review by the relevant Department TTC.

The Selection Board may make any of the following decisions on merit.

i. Reject appointment on Tenure Track.

for evaluation by an independent international panel of experts form technologicallyadvanced countries constituted for this purpose, and recommended by them.

2.2 First term review

a. During the latter part of the third year of the first term appointment, evaluation of thefaculty member, with written reports, as provided for in 2.3.3 shall be conducted.
