Gomal University Vice Chancellor Dr. Zafar Iqbal launched an investigation into what was described as one of the largest fake degree scandals in Pakistan’s history.
The probe reportedly created concern among several government officials and influential figures in Peshawar and Islamabad, who feared that their alleged involvement could be exposed in the coming days. This is being cited as one of the reasons behind Chief Minister Sohail Afridi’s decision to send Dr. Zafar on forced leave.
Dr. Zafar Iqbal holds a post-doctoral degree from the University of Oxford and was among the top candidates for the position of Vice Chancellor at Sahiwal University and Sargodha University. Academics of such caliber, critics argue, should be valued and protected by the state.
Every academic who stays in Pakistan strengthens the nation. Faculty retention today means stronger universities, better research, and brighter opportunities tomorrow. We appreciate @betterpakistan for advocating fair treatment, faculty welfare, and a stronger higher education.
Universities need more than buildings, they need motivated, secure, and valued faculty. Strong research, innovation, and national development depend on policies that recognize and reward academic excellence. #ShukriaAhsanIqbal#AcademicExcellence

We are in the Age of Humans - the Anthropocene.
Our new article (open access) shows how even with a moderate future emissions scenario, global temperature will still be elevated by 3-4°C in the year 3000!
Lifetime of our CO2 in the air is that long.

A researcher leaves.
A student loses a mentor.
A lab loses expertise.
A university loses capacity.
Pakistan loses part of its future.
Retaining talent is cheaper than rebuilding expertise.

Pakistan's researchers do far more than just teaching
Supervise graduate students, build labs, publish research, get grants, mentor innovators, support industry, help create skilled workforce our future depends on.

Restore tax rebate to address the growing challenge of brain drain of qualified scholars, researchers, and educators. A rebate will help to encourage skilled young professionals working abroad to return and contribute to national development.

Pakistan's prestige in the world is rising, but if more than 4000 TTS teachers are forced to protest in Islamabad, it will be a major blow to Pakistan's image on the global stage.
