The Sindh government passed the lastest law which allows chief minister to take control of public universities and degree-awarding institutions. Previously, the person responsible for these institutions was the governor. In the future, vice-chancellors, pro-chancellors, pro-vice-chancellors and finance directors will be appointed by the chief minister, while the governor will distribute degrees to graduates. At the same time, the admission policy will also be determined by the Sindh government. Faisal Subzwari, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) deputy parliamentary leader stated: “Today, the Pakistan Peoples Party government has attempted to snatch powers from public universities. The Sindh government can’t run its own departments. How will it manage to control all public universities in the province?”
