On February 2, the CUI administration wrote to the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) to inform them that [an] investigation of the quiz’s content had been opened. According to the letter, the administration had already taken action and terminated the lecturer’s (visiting faculty) services as of January 5, 2023. It went on to say that the professor had also been put on a blacklist.
The fact that they had to write 300 words on the subject in response to the inquiry “shocked” the students.
According to Assistant Registrar Naveed Ahmed Khan, when the lecturer was asked by the rector to clarify the situation, he accepted his mistake, which resulted to his dismissal. He continued, “He had stolen the question from Google. He said that the test was retaken.
A faculty member made fun of the exam process by asking why the issue could only be considered after the students brought it up. He questioned whether the lecturer had been fired as a result of the ministry learning about the occurrence.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
