ISLAMABAD: After rejection from the Syndicate meeting, the Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU) has shelved the plan to allocate a piece of land to the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE).
The Syndicate of the university that consists of university faculty, Higher Education Commission representatives, politicians and judges have decided various issues of the university.
The PIDE via a letter had requested the university to allocate land measuring 15-16 acres to PIDE within the QAU for construction of PIDE’s new campus. The proposal had disquieted the teaching faculty and non-academic staff and a signature drive was also initiated against the proposal. Around 150 staffers had signed the petition opposing the idea that was distributed among the Syndicate members on their arrival at the campus Thursday.
