PREFACE
TO THE REVISED EDITION
Code of a University is an indispensible document providing information covering
all 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 Higher
Education 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 Alma
Mater, 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 been
instrumental 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. Mughal


Vice Chancellor

EDITORS NOTE
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 and
Mr. 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.

gratuity in respect of any portion of the service included in this application
and in respect of which pension or gratuity is claimed herein, nor shall I
submit an application hereafter without quoting a reference to this application
and to the orders which may be passed thereon.
(2) The Head of Department/ Section concerned shall certify on the pension application
Form No.3 whether the character conduct and past service of the employee
concerned are such as to entitle him to the favourable consideration of Syndicate. He

6.1

When an employee is likely to retire before his pension can be finally assessed and
sanctioned in accordance with the Statutes, the authority competent to sanction
pension may sanction an anticipatory pension in the manner shown below:(i)

Where the pension does not exceed Rs.100 per month, the anticipatory
pension may be allowed in full on the basis of the calculations made by the
authority sanctioning the pension.

Note:-

The authority responsible for sanctioning the pension and the Audit Officer
concerned should finalize pension case quickly so that there is no excess
payment, and, if any, it is adjusted as quickly as possible.

(ii)

In case where the pension exceeds Rs.100 per month, the anticipatory
pension is to be restricted to 4/5th of the three months; full amount
admissible as calculated shall be paid even if the case is not finalized.

Note:-

soon as possible.

6.4

The letter sanctioning the anticipatory pension in Form 5(pen), shall be addressed by
the sanctioning authority to the Audit Officer. A copy of the sanctioning letter shall also
be endorsed to the retiring employee and the Treasurer. This letter will constitute
sufficient authority for drawing of anticipatory pension pending finalization of the
pension case. The pension payment orders appended to such letter should be dealt
with in accordance with the instructions contained in these Statutes and a Register of
anticipatory pension payment order maintained in the same form as prescribed for
regular pension.
Note:-

6.5

Before forwarding pension papers to the Audit Officer for scrutiny, the
sanctioning authority should enter brief particulars of the case in a Register
to be maintained specially for this purpose. The register should indicate the
name of the employee due to retire, the date of his retirement and the
amount of pension due to him as per details passed on to the Audit Officer.

If the authority competent to sanction pension considered it likely that in a case


contemplated in Statute 6.1 above, the employee would be entitled to a gratuity, onesixth of 75 per cent of the amount of such probable gratuity, should, upon a similar
declaration, be disbursed to him monthly for a maximum period of six months or until
the amount is finally settled. Statutes 6.2 to 6.4 above would mutatis mutandis apply
in such cases.
60

SINDH UNIVERSITY CODE

6.6

The payment of the anticipatory pension/ gratuity shall be so arranged that it is not
delayed beyond the first day of the month following the month in which the employee
is due to retire.

6.7

If upon the completion of regular investigation, it be found that pension thus summarily
assigned differs from the pension finally settled, the difference must be adjusted in the
first subsequent payment. Further, if anticipatory gratuity proves to be larger than the
amount found actually due upon completion of the inquiries, the employee shall be
required to refund any excess actually paid to him.

CHAPTER - VII

Revision of rates of Commutation


Under the existing statutes, a pensioner of the University of Sindh is eligible to commute at his
option 50% of his gross pension. He has also the option to draw th amount of gross pension
as gratuity and th amount thereof as commutation. The Vice-Chancellor has been pleased to
decide that with effect from 1.7.1986 gratuity shall be abolished altogether. Commutations upto
50% of gross pension shall, however, continue to be admissible at the option of a pensioner.
It has further been decided to replace the existing commutation Table by the new Commutation
Table as annexed to this office order.
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 gratuity
as from 01.07.1986 will be determined on the basis of age next birthday of the deceased
employee in accordance with the new Commutation Table referred to above, vide order
No. Admn:/2612 dated 24.07.1986.

Restoration of th 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 his
option 50% of his gross pension. He has also the option to draw th amount of gross pension
as gratuity and the thereof as commutation. Under Government of Pakistan, Finance
divisions Office Memorandum No. F. 10(8)-Reg (6)/85 dated 25.6.1985, th amount of
commutation was restored to the pensioners out-living the period of commutation. The
Vice-Chancellor has now been pleased to decide that pensioners of the University of Sindh
who availed the benefit of gratuity only and had not drawn commutation shall also be restored
the amount of gratuity (th of gross pension) only as and when they out-live the period for
which the gratuity was paid.
In restoring the amount of gratuity, the rate of gratuity would be divided by 12 to arrive at the
period 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 be
ignored 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 for
the period prior to 1.7.1986 due to the completion of the period for which gratuity was paid, vide
order No. Admn:/2613 dated 24.7.1986.

In case of any difficulty in determining the equivalence of degrees and experience in technical
and professional subjects, the University Grants Commission will be consulted.

Part-II

PAY SCALES STATUTES

1. Initial fixation of pay with effect from 1.7.1983 in the Basic Pay Scales on point to point
basis, the pay of a junior person in higher stages of a lower Revised National Pay Scale
has exceeded the pay of his senior who had been promoted to a higher post prior to the
introduction of the scheme of Basic Pay Scales, 1983 and was drawing pay at the initial
stages of the Revised National Pay Scales on the eve of introduction of Basic Pay Scales
Scheme 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, 1983
and his pay was fixed at Rs.1650/-. On the introduction of Basic Pay Scales with effect
from 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/- in
RNPS-17 on 20.6.1983. On the introduction of the Scheme of Basic Scales, his pay
was 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 that
where, as a direct result of the fixation of pay in Basic Pay Scale on point to point basis, the
presumptive pay of the lower substantive post held by a Government servant continuously
for 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 the
lower 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 a
maximum 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 than
casual leave during L.P.R. period, his leave encashment period will be forfeited by 50% of the
leave taken by him. There are, however, no orders of the Government to the grant of leave
encashment period in case total L.P.R. of a Government servant is less than 365 days. This point
was discussed with Mr. Anwer Beg Mirza, Deputy Secretary (Regulation), Sindh Finance
Department. He was not clear on this point and informed that a reference was being made to
other three Provincial Governments and Federal Government in order to know the exact
procedure being followed by them in such cases. The matter was discussed about four months
back 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 is
very 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 Leave
Encashment subject to maximum of 180 days. In other words even the total leave due during
L.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 days
benefit 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 leave
his leave Encashment would be forfeited by 15 days.
Since there are no clear instructions of Provincial or Federal Government on this subject, we
may in the university grant Leave Encashment benefit upto 180 days even the total leave due
during L.P.R. period is less than 365 days. In case the total leave due during L.P.R. period of
365 days is less than 180 days, the benefit of Leave Encashment may be given for the total
number of days of leave actually due.
120

SINDH UNIVERSITY CODE

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 in
lieu of L.P.R. We may however, take undertaking from the employees that in case clarification
is received from the Provincial or Federal Government contrary to the above policy being
adopted for the time being by the University, the excess amount paid will be recovered from
monthly pension.

Grant of Advance Increments to B-1 to B-15


2.

The Government of Sindh vide letter No.FD (SR.I)3(37)/93 date 6th June 1994, directed
to refer to para 6 of Letter No.FD (SR.IV) 1-43/87 dated 7th July, 1987, and to say that a
question has arisen, as to how the advance increment for possessing/acquiring higher
qualification, are to be granted to the officials in BPS-1 to BPS-15, working against the
posts, for which no minimum qualification has been prescribed in the relevant
Recruitment Rules. It is clarified that in such cases e.g., Naib Qasid, Daftry, Chowkidar,
Malhi, Sweeper, Laboratory Assistant and Beldar etc., where no minimum qualification

REGULATION FOR PROMOTION OF RESEARCH CULTURE IN THE


UNIVERSITY OF SINDH
The Syndicate in its 182nd meeting held on18.07.2012, resolved vide Resolution No.3(xvi) that
the action taken by the Vice Chancellor in approving Minutes of the Committee appointed for
this purpose of promotion of Research Culture in the University of Sindh be noted and
approved.
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 University 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 facultys research projects would also involve M.Phil. / Ph.D. studies
and would lead to increase in the number of M.Phils / Ph.Ds produced and the research papers
published as a result of their research output, that would go a long way in improving the
ranking of the University.
The Committee thanked the Vice-Chancellor for providing an allocation of Rs.21.0 for research
in 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 projects cost be extended upto Rs.500,000 to
Rs.1.0 million. It may not involve cost of any major equipment.

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

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

The Faculty Research Committee is to comprise: 1.


2.
3.
4.

Dean of the Faculty


Dean Research and Graduate Studies.
Director / Chairperson of the Institute / Department Concerned.
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 infrastructure
requirements for research to the departments particularly under Natural Science Faculty, that
has been a stumbling block in encouraging faculty to pursue research who come up with
excuses that facilities are not available. The funds available under Self Finance allocation for
concerned departments development, may be utilized for this purpose.

Part-III

OTHER STATUTES

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. Some universities in
the country have already adopted this approach to enhance research output that helps upgrade
their ranking. Provided the authorship is restricted to first three names and it is generated
through their own research or research supervised by them relevant to their specialization (to
avoid appearance as guest / ghost authors).

preparation is undertaken during second and third year onward after clearance of comprehensive
exam and formal enrolment to candidacy.

Course Weightage-Credit Hour


Each course has certain credit hours assigned to it. One credit hour for a particular course is
generally to be considered as fifty minutes (one period) of teaching per week. The number of
credit hours indicates weightage of the course relative to other courses and also reflects
number of hours of teaching of that course per week. Thus a course of 3 credit hours would
mean a total of 3x18= 54 (credit hours assigned to the course multiplied by the number of
weeks of semester) hours of actual teaching of that course in a semester. Lab course
(Practical) of 2 to 6 hrs duration conducted once a week, is assigned 1 C.H.

Quality Point (Q.P)


The quality point of the performance of a student is obtained by multiplying the numerical value
of the grade earned by a student with the Credit Hours of that course, e.g., an 'A' grade in a
course of 3 C.H. would earn 4x3=12 Q.P. and a 'D' grade in the same course earns 1x3=3 Q.P.

Grade Point Average (G.P.A)


It is an expression for the average performance of the student in the courses he has offered
during one or two semesters or at the end of the entire course. Thus
G.P.A. = Sum of all the Quality Points earned
Sum of the Credit Hours of all the courses offered
It may be noted that except in the case of dissertation, thesis, creative thesis, exhibition thesis, or
field study, an incomplete grade not removed within one semester, unless extenuating
circumstances are provided in writing to the Dean, will be recorded as "F". The professor of the
course will process a grade change form with the Controller of Examinations.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

Rules for Promotion


i.

The promotion from the first semester to the second, or from the third to the fourth or from
the fifth to the sixth semester will be automatic; however, the student must meet the
minimum requirement of attendance in that semester.

ii.

For the promotion from the second semester to the third semester, a student must have (a)
minimum attendance and (b) a G.P.A. of 1.75 or above, in the preceding two semesters.

iii.

If a student fails to meet attendance requirements, he is liable to lose 10% of his grades
which should be announced at the beginning of semester by each instructor/ faculty.

iv.

Students who secure less than 1.75 C.G.P.A. in the preceding two semesters, (i.e. first
and second, third and fourth) will be promoted to the next semester (3rd/ 5th)
conditionally, i.e., they will be treated as on probation and if they fail to qualify courses
in which failing by the end of that semester their admission shall be cancelled.

v.

Those students who's admission is cancelled due to above reason will not be allowed to
enroll in any class for at least one semester.

vi.

For the award of degree the student must have a minimum G.P.A. of 2.0.
Amended procedure for determining GPA / CGPA
The Academic Council in its meeting held on 12.12.2007 approved the proposal that in
calculating GPA / CGPA percent marks scored within the grade range be used instead of
abosolute 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 to
point basis i.e., on percentage marks obtained by each of them, while the student with
50 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 and
would 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 the
semester as per announced schedule, his/ her admission shall stand cancelled automatically
without any notice.
If a student promoted conditionally to the next semester, fails to qualify courses in which failing,
by the end of the semester, his admission shall be cancelled.

Make-up Test
Students who are unable to take up the final test of a course for any exigency may, subject to
the concurrence of the course teacher, be allowed to take Make-up test as soon as possible

Faculty Responsibility under the Semester System


The faculty i.e., the course teacher enjoys pivotal role in the learning process of student under
semester system; some of his / her most silent responsibilities are outlined here:

300

Part-IV

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

All faculty members are given a maximum of 12 CH assignments in a semester. In case of


senior faculty busy in research supervision / writing books etc,. or performing administrative
duties their maximum teaching assignment may be adjusted accordingly.

The course teacher will introduce himself about his/her academic achievement & research,
professional expertise & publications during the first lecture following the commencement of
semester. He/ She will give handout elaborating the course and outline, informs students of
text/ reference books/ bibliography pertaining to the course. The copy of the handout should
also be deposited with the chairperson/ director of the department/ institute.

The teacher will inform the students of his/ her plan of course treatment during the first
lecturer and will also inform the students that at the end of semester, the examination will
be conducted from the entire course.

The course teacher will inform the students of Grades and Evaluation procedure and
tentative schedule of Tests/ Examinations specifically the mid-term test, and assignments.
The faculty must emphasize attendance policy and announce how much of the grade will
be affected. For example: any student who remain absent for six or more days during a
semester is liable to lose 10% of the total grade, i.e., instead of A-grade he may be placed
in B.

The faculty will ensure that scripts/ answer books of all tests/ examinations are evaluated
within 7 days of the conduct of test and are available to students. As a rule all test answer
books and assignments are to be returned to students after evaluation.

The course teacher will announce the result of the test(s) in the class and will also put the
list of marks secured outside his/ her office in addition to filing the copy in department's
office and the Controller of Examinations, for record.
Mid-term test (after eight weeks of instructions) is compulsory for all students. Each faculty
will receive a copy of roster listing all enrolled students for assigning grade for each student.

Faculty is to be available to his/ her students for consultation and guidance for 10 (ten)
hours a week. Notice to this effect should be posted outside the office of the course
teacher, specifying the timings.

1985 at Lahore has decided that since the requirement is just to pass the examination before
the award of M.B.B.S. degree, the marks of Islamic and Pakistan Studies may not be counted
in any Professional Examination for the award of rank, because it is a non medical subject ad
pass marks are different from medical subjects.

Subject:

Return of sealed packets of question papers not required at a centre

Dear Sir,
I have to inform you that separate sealed covers containing few copies of question paper, even
in case of those subjects which the candidates at some Centres may not have offered are sent
to the centres as a measure of safe-guard. This is done so as to meet the situation if, by
clerical error, one subject has been omitted even after it is mentioned in the Seat list.
However, such envelopes are not to be opened unless such emergency arises that a candidate
has offered such a subject which is shown in the Seat list. Such sealed covers are kindly to be
returned to the undersigned in the same condition as these were received as soon as those
papers are over.
This may very kindly be followed as general procedure for all Examinations.
I have etc.,

General Introduction
This document contains the Model Track Process. Statutes that specify the rules and
regulations pertaining to implementation and execution of the Tenure Track process at
institutes of higher Learning, i.e. degree granting institutions, in Pakistan. Since the
governance and management structure of a university varies across the various institutions
these Statutes have been prepared for a model institutions in which the Senate is the
governing body, the Syndicate is management body and certain statutory committees are in
place to oversee the process of implementation of the procedure described in this document.
In consultation with the Higher Education Commission each institution may modify these
model Tenure Tract Statutes in light of their particular nature and circumstances. These
modifications, however, are to be minor in nature and may not alter the fundamental spirit of
the 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 containing
international experts in the relevant subject matter.
Each institution may enact the approved Tenure Track Statutes following their respective
process of enactment of statutes. Such institutions will subsequently be eligible to receive
additional 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 on
promotions follows herewith. It expresses the institutional philosophy in these matters and
describes 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 of
information for evaluations.

General Introduction.
a.

Ultimate decisions in matters of appointment and promotion in rank are made on the
authority of the Senate. Initial recommendations, however, are made at the
departmental level (or college level where colleges are not divided into departments);
although a recommendation maybe submitted by any member of the faculty. These
recommendations are then reviewed by the administrative officers most directly
involved and are forwarded with their recommendations to the Vice Chancellor of the
University who transmits them to the Syndicate and Senate. Recommendations at
the 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 and
the Syndicate".

b.

Recommendations for appointment also involve decisions regarding temporary or


probationary status: The precise terms and conditions of every new appointment to
the faculty shall be stated in writing and given to the faculty member before the
appointment is made. In case of reduction of the length of the probationary period,
the matter should be clearly stated in writing and agreed to
at the time of appointment; in the case of promotions of faculty members not
already having tenure, tenure expectations may need to be considered, although the
the tenure decision is a separate matter. A copy of this statement of policy shall also
be given to the faculty member before his appointment.
397

SINDH UNIVERSITY CODE

c.

The University may make the following types of appointments of new faculty
members:
a. Temporary Appointments.

b. Tenure Track Appointments

i. First term Appointments.


ii. Second term (Probationary) Appointments.
iii. Tenured Appointments
d.

1.2

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

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.
2.
3.
4.

Teaching
Scholarship, research, or other creative work
Service
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 and
promotion. Even though teaching maybe more difficult to evaluate than scholarship,
research, or creative work, it should not therefore be given a place of secondary
consideration in an overall rating. The last two categories are important but normally
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 commonly


considered to include a persons knowledge of the major field of study, awareness of
developments in it, skill in communicating to students and in arousing their interest, ability to
stimulate them to think critically, to have them appreciate the interrelationship of fields of
knowledge, and to be concerned with applications of knowledge to vital human problem.

1.2.2

Scholarship, Research, or Other Creative Work.

A faculty members scholarship, research, and other creative work should make a contribution
to the particular field of interest and serve as an indication of professional competence. The
result of this kind of activity normally finds expression in publication or other media appropriate
to the field, and where appropriate, should be reflected in teaching. In no case, however,
should a persons productive effort be measured by mere quantity.

1.2.3

Service

This term refers specifically to service to the University community, as in committee


assignments, and to public service. It also has reference to service to ones 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 that
concern the local community in which the University is located, and the country at large. An
outstanding service record should be a positive factor in making an evaluation, but the lack of
such a record should not be regarded as sufficient cause for denying an appointment or
promotion.

398

Part-VI

1.2.4

CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

Personal Characteristics

This category may be considered to include all traits which contribute to an individuals
effectiveness as a teacher, as a leader in a professional area, and as a human being. Of
primary concern here all intellectual breadth, emotional stability or maturity, and a sufficient
vitality and forcefulness to constitute effectiveness. There must also be a sufficient degree of
compassion and willingness to cooperate, so that an individual can work harmoniously with
others while maintaining independence of thought and action. This category is so broad that
flexibility 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 found
useful and appropriate in identifying sources of information.

1.3.1

Teaching

a.

Consult colleagues in the candidates field and those in allied fields.

b.

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

1.3.3

Service

a.

An indication of service sometimes appears in biographical records that are to be


submitted 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 information
obtained from letters of recommendation or other such sources.

c.

For promotions, the biographical record with its annual supplements collected in the
office of the Registrar of the University, should constitute a fairly complete record.
However, one should also consult the candidates colleagues for additional
information.

1.4

Specific Qualifications for Appointment and Promotion


a.

The following statements should be looked upon as firm but not absolute guidelines
governing normal promotion. Special procedures are sometimes required in unusual
circumstances, where too strict adherence to the rule could well be disadvantageous
to the University. Also, qualifications differ in the various fields. Customary degrees
or their equivalents should be required, recognizing that these requirements differ
according to the standards in the various fields.

b.

In general, possession of a Doctorate, or equivalent, degree is required in a


candidate 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-ship
within its faculty rankings. It can also be used for persons needed to fill temporary posts under
emergency conditions. As with any appointment, the status should be made clear and put in
writing 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, in accordance with University policies.

b.

Lecturers are appointed with the understanding that they will not be promoted to
professorial 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 area


of 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. As
the assistant professor continues in this rank an effort to increase knowledge and
improve teaching ability should be demonstrated, and professional presentation
should 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 being
considered 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.

400

Part-VI

CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

1.4.2

The Senior Ranks


Appointment or promotion to either senior rank should represent an implicit prediction
on the part of the department, college, and university that the individual will continue
to make sound contributions to teaching and learning. It should be made only after
careful investigation of the candidate's promise in scholarship, in teaching, and in
leadership and learning. By this statement is meant that serious attention must be
given to the caliber of the candidate's intellectual and moral stature, for this will
probably be the key factor in determining the extent to which past performance in
teaching and in creative work may be expected to carryon through continuing
contributions. Deans and Departmental Chairpersons normally will look to the senior
ranks for advice and counsel regarding policy matters, including appointment and
promotion. Also, service's rendered 10 communities and agencies or organizations in
the candidate's professional capacity should certainly be considered in assessing
qualifications for advancement to senior ranks

1.4.2.1 Associate Professor


a.

The criteria for appointment or promotion to an associate professorship differ from


those for a professorship in degree rather than in kind. The candidate for associate
professor should offer evidence of knowledge of developments in the field of
expertise and a conscientious interest in improving teaching methods. It is expected
that an associate professor shall already have shown a basic general understanding
with regard to a large part of the discipline.

b.

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

1.4.2.2 Professor
a.

1.5

Faculty member appointed to the rank of Professor is expected to have had an


impact on the state of knowledge. It is expected that the professor will continue to
develop and mature with regard to teaching, research, and other qualities that
contributed to earlier appointments. Consideration for this appointment should
include particular attention to the quality and significance of contributions to the
candidate's field, sensitivity and interest in the general problems of university
education and their social implications, and ability to make constructive judgments
and decisions in regard thereto. It should be kept in mind that the full Professors are
likely to be the most enduring group in the faculty and are those who will give
leadership and set the tone for the entire faculty.

Temporary Appointment
a.

Temporary one-year appointments may be made for faculty members, appointed as


visiting professors, to fill positions funded by other than Government appropriated
funds, to replace faculty members on leave, or, whenever an appointment has to .be
made so late that normal search' procedures cannot be followed. With the exception
of appointments made without a normal search procedure, faculty members on such
appointments may be reappointed for a second or third year if mutually agreeable to
the faculty member and the department and faculty involved or they may be
reappointed under a term appointment. Full-time, temporary appointments not
normally lead to permanent tenure. They shall not exceed a total of three years
except in the case of an explicit exception granted by the University Senate.
401

SINDH UNIVERSITY CODE

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 Fellows
working with search group for a limited period. Such positions may be funded by
other than Government-appropriated funds.

2. Tenure Track Appointments


Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good and not to further the
interest of either the individual teacher' or the institution as a whole; the common good
depends upon the free search for truth and its free exposition. Academic freedom is essential
to these purposes and applies to both teaching and research. Freedom in research is
fundamental to the advancement of truth. Academic freedom in its teaching aspect is
fundamental for the protection of the rights of the teacher in teaching and of the student to
freedom 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 faculty
member for a period of three years. For a faculty member appointed at a junior rank (not
higher than Assistant Professor) it will be followed by a second term: contract appointment for
an additional period of three years. A tenure decision must be made for 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 senior rank (Associate and Full Professor) the
probationary period shall normally be three years for associate professor and two years for a
full 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 circumstances
discussed in these statutes.

2.2 First Term Review


a.

During the latter part of the third year of the first term appointment evaluation of the
faculty member, with written reports, .as provided for in 2.3:3 shall be conducted. In
addition to conforming to the requirements and procedures in 2,3,3 the first term
review shall also take into consideration the needs of the departments a:nd the
University for flexibility.

b.

The department and/or college concerned shall no later than (3) three months prior
to the end of the third year make a decision-favorable or not favorable -with respect
to the performance of the faculty member during the time served.

c.

A recommendation upon this decision shall be sent immediately by the Dean of the
Faculty to the Vice Chancellor of the University who in turn shall at this time make
the final decision with respect only to the faculty member's performance, and shall so
notify the faculty member no later than two weeks prior to the end of the third year. If
this decision by the Vice Chancellor about performance is favorable, the faculty
member shall be notified that he or she will receive a second three-year appointment
if the University's need for flexibility permits if the decision about performance is
negative, I the faculty member shall be issued a terminal contract for the year
following the decision.

CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

If the University's need for flexibility requires that a faculty member judged worthy of
retention not be retained, the Vice Chancellor must explain to the Faculty
Development; Evaluation and Recruitment Committee of the concerned Faculty, why
there is a need for flexibility regarding this particular position; and 'show that the
administration's plans for the academic and fiscal nature of that position are
reasonable. If the Vice Chancellor decides that the University's need for flexibility
requires that the faculty position in question must be eliminated, shifted within the
department, or shifted to another department or Faculty and/or if the Vice Chancellor
determines that because the percentage of tenured positions or a combination of
tenured and probationary positions) in the department is so high as to make it unwise
to authorize an additional probationary appointment, the Dean of the concerned
Faculty, respective Department Chairperson and faculty member concerned shall be
notified as early in the third year as possible. A faculty member whose performance
shows excellence or promise of excellence but whose employment will not be
continued because a position is being eliminated shifted within a department or to
another department or Faculty will be offered a notice contract for one additional year
of employment beyond' the initial three-year appointment.

Level of initial Term Appointment


No faculty member on an initial term appointment may be appointed at a rank higher
than that of assistant professor. It is however possible to promote a faculty member
during the initial 4 (four) years -term appointment, whereupon the faculty member will
automatically enter into probationary status. Promotion of such a faculty member, .as
well as any faculty member granted a second, three-year probationary appointment,
shall be decided according to the requirements and procedures given in the
Appointment and Promotion Policy.

Second three-year Appointment


A faculty member offered a second three-year appointment shall, from the beginning
of the fourth year of service, become a faculty member in probationary status, The
first term review shall be considered the mid-probationary review, and the faculty
member shall come under the appropriate provisions and procedures of Section 2.3
of this policy. Accordingly, a tenure review, as provided for in Section 2,3.4, shall be
conducted during the third year of the second; four-year; probationary appointment,
member's qualifications warrant such reduction.

2.3 Probationary Period


The probationary period shall constitute the time during which a person's fitness for
permanent tenure is under scrutiny. For faculty members appointed at a senior rank,
their entire period of appointment shall be considered as a probationary period.
Probationary appointments shall normally lead to permanent tenure: Initial
probationary appointments are normally made only at the associate and full
professor level the maximum probationary period shall be four years for Lecturers,
Assistant Professors, Associate Professor and three years, for full Professors. These
maximum periods will be increased by one-half year-for appointments commencing
during the second half of the academic year. Once established, the duration of the
probationary period shall, not normally be extended, except that the running of the
probationary period will normally be suspended when the faculty member goes on a
leave of absence without pay.
403

SINDH UNIVERSITY CODE

a.

2.3.4

By written agreement with the appointee and with the consent of a majority of
the tenured members of the department by the faculty member's qualifications
warrant such reduction. In exceptional cases and with the consent of a majority of
the tenured members of the department (or no departmentalized college), tenure
may be recommended on appointment. A committee, the probationary period may be
reduced below the maximum periods given faculty member may achieve tenure only
through full-time service, and part-time service shall not be considered as
probationary service leading to possible tenure. A full-time faculty member with
tenure, however, may at his or her request change to part-time service, either
permanently or temporarily for a specified time, and retain tenure, provided that the
department (or non- departmentalized college), the Dean of the Faculty, and the Vice
Chancellor approve the terms in advance. A faculty member with tenure who resigns
from the University and is rehired within three years as a full-time member of the
same department shall have tenure upon return. A faculty member with tenure who
resigns from. the University and is rehired by the same department after more than
three years' absence may-be required to serve a probationary period of not more
than one year at the discretion of the department. A faculty member with tenure who

REVISED VERSION OF MODEL TENURE TRACK STATUTES 2013


The Senate in its 34th meeting held on 22.03.2013 approved the Revised Model Tenure Track
Statutes, recommended by the Syndicate, vide its meeting held on 14.05.2011, as detailed
hereunder. The Honorable Chancellor assented the Statute vide letter GS/1-29/2009(SO-I)918
dated 26.07.2013.

APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS

The University policy on appointment (including subsequent reappointments) and on


promotions follows herewith. It expresses the institutional philosophy in these matters and
describes the qualifications for the various ranks in terms of four major areas of consideration,
together with indications 9f the relative importance of these areas and possible sources of
information for evolutions.

1.1

General Introduction
a.

Ultimate decisions in matters of appointment and promotion in rank are made on the
authority of the Senate. Initial recommendations, however, are made at the
departmental level (or college level where colleges are not divided into departments),
although a recommendation may be submitted by any member of the faculty. These
recommendations are then reviewed by the administrative officers most directly
involved and are forwarded with their recommendations to the Vice Chancellor of the
University who transmits them to the Syndicate & Senate. Recommendations at the
department level through the dean will be given most serious consideration in this
procedure. The matter be brought to the notice of the Senate through the Selection
Board and the Syndicate.

b.

Recommendations for appointment also involve decisions regarding temporary or


probationary status. The precise terms and conditions of every new appointment to
the faculty shall be stated in writing and given to the faculty member before the
appointment in made. In cases of reduction of the length of the probationary period
the 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, tenure
expectations may need to be considered, though the tenure decision is a separate
matter. A copy of this statement of policy shall also the given to the faculty member
before his appointment.

411

SINDH UNIVERSITY CODE

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 (Probationary) appointments.
(c) Tenured appointments

d.

A faculty member on Tenure Track may be appointed to any academic administrative


post in the university such as Director Research, chairman, Dean, etc.

e.

Once a University/Degree Awarding Institution has adopted the Tenure Track System
of 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 the
basis 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 be
determined 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 of


effectiveness in four principal areas:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Teaching
Scholarship, research, or other creative work
Service
Personal characteristics

Not all faculty members excel in each of these area, but distinction or promise, especially in
either of the first two; constitute the chief basis for appointment and promotion. Even though
teaching may be more difficult to evaluate than scholarship, research, or creative work, it
should not therefore be given a place of secondary consideration in an overall rating. The last
two categories of service and personal characteristics are of secondary importance and
normally 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 commonly


considered to include a person's knowledge of the major field of study ,awareness of
developments in it, skill in communicating to students and in arousing their interest, ability to
simulate them to think critically, to have them appreciate the interrelationship of fields of
knowledge, and to be concerned with applications of knowledge to vital human problems.

1.2.2

Scholarship, Research, or other creative work

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

412

Part-VI

1.2.3

CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

Service

This-term refers specifically to service to the University community, as in committee


assignments; 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 Provincial,
regional, national, or international character. Not least of the services rendered are those that
concern the local community in which the University is located, and the country at large. An
outstanding service record should be a positive factor in making an evolution, but the lack of
such a record should' not be regarded as sufficient cause for denying an appointment or
promotion.

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 of
Primary concern here are intellectual breadth emotional stability or maturity, and a sufficient
vitality and forcefulness to constitute effectiveness. There must also be a sufficient degree of
compassion forcefulness to constitute effectiveness. There must also be a sufficient degree of
compassion and willingness to cooperate, so that an individual" can work harmoniously with
others while maintaining independence of thought and action. This category is so broad that
flexibility 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 found
useful 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/teaching
evolution; this method needs to be used with great care.

iii.

Gather reports on colloquia, seminars, etc. given in the department or elsewhere with
a view to assess the quality of presentation with respect to subject content,
organization and view to assess the quality of presentation with respect to subject
content, 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, or
other auspices, in which it appears; or asses any creative work in terms of its public
presentation and reception.
413

SINDH UNIVERSITY CODE

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 supervision
professional meetings, whether of state, regional, national, or international scope.

e.

Gather reports of specific projects undertaken and ascertain the success achieved in
the past as well as the prospects of success for the future. Remember that important
projects 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 be


submitted 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 information
obtained from letters of recommendation or other such sources.

c.

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

d.

However, one should also consult the candidates colleagues for additional
information.

1.3.4

Personal Characteristics.

a.

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

b.

For promotions, confidential reports from colleagues and others acquainted with the
candidate 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 resign


or retire from any position held previously in any public / private institution or
Organization, except in the case that the candidate is, incumbent of the same
university.

b.

The following statements should be looked upon as firm but not absolute guidelines
governing normal promotion. Special procedures are sometimes required in unusual
circumstances, where too strict adherence to the' rule could well be disadvantageous
to the University. Also, qualifications differ in the various fields. Customary degrees or
their equivalents should be required, recognizing that these requirements differ
according to the standards in the various fields.

c.

Possession of a Doctorate/relevant terminal qualification is required by a candidate to


be appointed to the post of Assistant Professor, or above.

d.

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

414

Part-VI

e.

CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

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

1.4.1 The Junior Ranks


1.4.1.1 Lecturer (On Contract)
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 lectureship
within its faculty rankings. It can also be used for persons needed to fill temporary posts under
emergency conditions. As with any appointment, the status should be made clear and put in
writing 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, in
accordance with University policies.

b.

Lecturers are appointed with the understanding that they will not be promoted to
professorial 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 required


to have a Ph.D/Relevant terminal qualification from a recognized institution and
excellent written communication skills as well as excellent presentation skills. An
Assistant Professor should be demonstrably competent in the subject matter area of
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. As
the Assistant Professor continues in this rank, an effort to increase knowledge and
improve teaching ability should be demonstrated, and professional presentation
should be made through papers to professional organization and through other
creative work.

b.

As a general rule the length of service in the rank of Assistant Professor before being
considered for promotion to the rank of Associate Professor is six years.
Recommendations for promotion after first term review should be carefully weighed
and 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 the
part of the departments, college and University that the individual will continue to make sound
contributions to teaching 'and learning. It should be made only after careful investigation of the
candidate's promise in scholarship, in teaching, and in leadership and learning. By this
statement is meant that serious attention must be given to the caliber of the candidate's
intellectual and moral stature, for this will probably be the key factor in determining the extent to
which past performance in teaching and in creative work may be expected to carry on through
continuing contributions. Deans and departmental chairpersons normally will look to the senior
ranks for advice and counsel regarding policy matters, including appointment and promotion.
Also services rendered to communities and agencies or organization in the candidate's
professional capacity should certainly be considered in assessing qualification for
advancement to senior ranks.

415

SINDH UNIVERSITY CODE

1.4.2.1 Associate Professor


a.

The criteria for appointment on promotion to an associate professorship differ from


those for a professorship in degree rather than in kind. The candidate for Associate

required.
c.

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

1.4.2.2 Professor
a.

A faculty member appointed to the rank of Professor is expected to have had an


impact on the state of knowledge. It is expected that the professor will continue to
develop and mature with regard to teaching, research, and other qualities with
contributed to earlier appointments. Consideration for this appointment should include
particular attention to the quality and significance of contributions to the candidate's
field, sensitivity and interest in the general problems of' university education and their
social implications, and ability to make constructive judgments and decisions in regard
thereto. It should be kept in mind that the full professors are likely to be the most
enduring group in the faculty and are those who will give leadership and set the tone
for 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 recognized

1.5

Temporary appointment
a.

2.

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

Temporary one-year appointments may be made for faculty members appointed as


visiting professor, to fill positions funded, by other than Government-appropriated
funds, to replace faculty members on leave, or whenever an appointment has to be
made so late that normal search procedures cannot be followed. With the exception of
appointments made without a normal search procedure, faculty members on such
appointments may be reappointed for a second or third year if mutually agreeable to
the faculty member and the department and Faculty involved, or they may be
reappointed under a term appointment. Fulltime, temporary appointments shall not
normally lead to permanent tenure. They shall not exceed a total of three years except
in the case of an explicit exception granted by the University Senate.
.

TENURE TRACK APPOINTMENTS


Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good and not to further
the interest of either the individual teacher' or the institution as a whole. The common
good depends upon the free search for truth and its free exposition. Academic
freedom is essential to these purposes and applies to both teaching and research.
Freedom in research is fundamental to the advancement of truth. Academic freedom
in its teaching aspect is fundamental for the protection of1he-rights of the teacher in
teaching and of the student to freedom in learning. It carries with it duties correlative
with rights.
.
Tenure is a means to certain ends; specifically: (1) freedom of teaching and of
extramural activities, and (2) a sufficient degree of economic security to make the
profession attractive to men and women of ability. Freedom and economic security,
hence tenure, are indispensable to the success of an institution in fulfilling its
obligations to its students and to society.

417

SINDH UNIVERSITY CODE

2.1

The Tenure Track Process


a.

The tenure track process normally involves an initial term contract appointment of a
faculty member for a period of three years. For a faculty member appointed at a junior
rank (not higher than Assistant Professor) it will be followed by a second term contract
appointment for an additional period of three years. A tenure decision must be made
for 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 senior
rank (Associate and Full Professor) the probationary period shall normally be four
years for associate and professor. The services of a faculty members having tenure
shall be terminated only for adequate cause, except at the normal retirement age or
under extraordinary circumstances decision in these statutes.

b.

Each candidate who wishes to be considered for the Tenure Track Scheme should
prepare a comprehensive application dossier that includes letters of reference from
his/her Ph.D. supervisor as well as others from eminent researchers in his/ her area of
specialization, and all publications in Internationally Abstracted Journals, recognized for
the purpose of appointment on Tenure Track by the Higher Education Commission.

c.

The dossier of each candidate from applicants other than Assistant Professor should
be sent to an independent Technical Review Panel (TRP) to be constituted by the
University and composed of eminent international academics and researchers in the
relevant area who have obtained Ph.D. Degree from academically advanced
countries. A copy of the, dossier, along with names of the Technical Review Panel
members should also be sent to the HEC. The following criteria should be followed
while selecting members of the TRP.

d.

i.

Should
not have served as Supervisor/Co-Supervisor of the candidate
under 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 recognized


university or equivalent position in a recognized research organization. He/She
also must not have a lower rank than the applicant.

Upon receipt of application for appointment on the Tenure Track scheme at the
Associate / Full Professor level by eligible candidates, the respective institution is
required to process the application by first obtaining the recommendation of, the
external Technical Review Panel. Upon receipt of the favorable recommendation from
this panel the matter is to be placed for consideration by the Selection Board of the
Institute. However, the application for the position from existing Professor/Associate
Professor and Assistant Professor will be placed directly to the Selection Board after
internal review by the relevant Department TTC.
The Selection Board may make any of the following decisions on merit.
i.

Reject appointment on Tenure Track.

ii.

Recommend "first term" appointment on Tenure Track at the level of Assistant


Professor only with the first review occurring after 3 - years, and the "second
term" (Final Tenure review) occurring after 6 years.

iii.

Recommend "probationary" appointment on Tenure Track at the level of


Associate Professor with a final tenure review occurring after a period of
4 years.

418

Part-VI

2.2

CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

iv.

Recommend "probationary" appointment on Tenure Track at the level of


Professor with a final tenure review occurring after a period of 4 years.

v.

Recommend grant of tenure with immediate effect for exceptional cases;


provided that their cases, in addition to being recommended by the external
Technical Review Panel and Selection Board of the University, are also sent to
the HEC for evaluation by an independent international panel of experts form
technologically advanced countries constituted for this purpose, and
recommended by them.

A faculty member appointed on probation on the Tenure Track scheme who wishes to
be considered for permanent tenure prior to completion of the 4-Years probationary
period may apply to the University to be considered early. This case will be treated as
an exceptional case, and in addition to being recommended by the external Technical
Review Panel and Selection Board of the University, the case is also sent to the HEC
for evaluation by an independent international panel of experts form technologically
advanced countries constituted for this purpose, and recommended by them.

First term review


a.

During the latter part of the third year of the first term appointment, evaluation of the
faculty member, with written reports, as provided for in 2.3.3 shall be conducted. In
addition to conforming to the requirements and procedures in 2.3.3, the first term
review shall also take into consideration the needs of the department, the college, and
the University for flexibility.

b.

The department and/or college concerned shall no later than six week prior to the end
of the third year make a decision-favorable, or not favorable-with respect to the
performance of the faculty member during the time served.
A recommendation upon this decision shall be sent immediately by the Dean of the
Faculty to Vice-Chancellor of the University who in turn shall at this time make the final
decision with respect only to the faculty member's performance, and shall so notify the
faculty members no later than two week prior to the end of the third year. If this decision
by the Vice-Chancellor about performance is favorable, the faculty member shall be
notified that he or she will receive a second three-year appointment if the University's
need for flexibility permits. If the decision about performance is negative, the faulty
members shall be issued a terminal contract for the year following the decision.
If the University need for flexibility requires that a faculty member judged worthy of
retention not be retained, the Vice-Chancellor must explain to the Faculty Development,
Evaluation and Recruitment Committee of the concerned Faculty why there is a need for
flexibility regarding this particular position, and show that the administrations plans for
the academic and fiscal nature of that position are reasonable.
If the Vice-Chancellor decides that the University's need for flexibility requires that the
faculty position in question must be eliminated, shifted within the department, or
shifted to another department or Faculty, and/or if the Vice Chancellor determines
that because the percentage of tenured positions (or a combination of tenured and
probationary positions) in the department is so high as to make it unwise to authorize
an additional probationary appointment, the Dean of the concerned Faculty,
respective Department Chairperson and faculty member concerned shall be notified
as early in the third: year as possible. A faculty member whose performance shows
excellence or promise of excellence but whose employment will not be continued
because a position is being eliminated shifted within a department or to another
department or Faculty, will be offered a notice contract for one additional year of
employment beyond the initial three-year appointment

this policy. Accordingly, a tenure review, as provided for in Section 2.3.4, shall be
conducted during the third year of the second three-year probationary appointment.

Probationary Period
a.

The probationary period shall constitute the time during which a person's fitness for
permanent tenure is under scrutiny. For faculty members appointed at a senior rank,
their entire period of appointment shall be considered as a probationary period
Probationary appointment shall normally lead to permanent tenure. Initial probationary
appointments are normally made only at the associate and full professor level. The
probationary period shall be four years for associate and full professors. This period will
be increased by one-half year for appointments commencing during the second half of
the academic year. Once established, the duration of the probationary period shall not
normally be extended, except that the running of the probationary period will normally be
suspended when the faculty member goes on a leave of absence without pay.

b.

A faculty member appointed on probation on the Tenure Track scheme who wishes to
be considered for permanent tenure upon completion of a 2-year probationary period
may apply to the University to be considered early. This case will be treated as an
exceptional case, and in addition to being recommended by the external Technical
Review Panel and Selection Board of the University, the case is also sent to the HEC
for evolution by an independent international panel of experts from technologically
advanced countries constituted for this purpose, and recommended by them.

c.

the
tenured
members
of
the
department

Tenured faculty members, especially department chairpersons, are reminded that


their participation in all tenure review procedures; particularly in the two full, formal
reviews (outlined in sections 2.2; 2.3.3, and 2.3.4), is one of the most serious of their
duties and responsibilities. They are also reminded that tenure should be granted only
to faculty members who have demonstrated excellence in the performance of their
professional duties; mere adequacy or inoffensiveness do not constitute sufficient
grounds for the award of tenure. All reviews should include evolution of teaching by at
least students and peers, Departmental Tenure Review Committee (DTRC) provide
essential framework for the review. Composition of the DTRC is given below:
i.

The Chairman of the department will be head of the DTRC.

ii.

The committee shall consist of all Tenured Faculty members of the department.

iii.

Till such time as there are less than five Tenured Faculty members, the
committee shall consist of:

iv.

All Professors of the department.

the Vice Chancellor will appoint remaining members from the list of experts in
that discipline on recommendation of the concerned Dean.

vii.

Any faculty member whose case is under review in the DTRC will not attend
the meeting during the review of his/her case.

Annual review

a.

The progress toward permanent tenure of each faculty member on probationary


status shall be reviewed annually by the DTRC, in consultation with at least those
department members best acquainted with the probationary member's work. Such
reviews shall evaluate the probationary member's progress in light of the section 1.2
"Bases for Appointment and Promotion, and of standards of excellence prevailing in
that discipline, department, and college. The outcome of each review shall be

421

SINDH UNIVERSITY CODE

2.3.3

Mid-probationary review

a.

For faculty members completing their first term appointment, the first term review
described in section 2.2.1 shall be considered to be the mid-probationary review.

b.
