PU suspends two senior professors over illegal promotions
The Punjab University faculty suspension of Azhar Naeem and Kamran Abid followed a Punjab Assembly panel's direction, and the orders still need syndicate approval.
Punjab University suspended professors Azhar Naeem and Kamran Abid from service on October 23, with immediate effect until further orders.
The action followed a Punjab Assembly Standing Committee on Higher Education direction over alleged illegal appointments and promotions made in 2014.
The suspension orders were issued by Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Muhammad Ali Shah and are subject to syndicate approval.
The university must present an inquiry report to the committee within a fortnight, and the allegations have not been proven.
