The faculty members stated that the principal loses temper with the blink of an eye and resultantly lashes out abusive, filthy, derogatory and insulting words in routine discussions with staff members. On many occasions he directly abused senior and junior teaching faculty, administrative and menial staff in routine working hours. Abusing students and teaching staff with insulting and offensive words is against the code of conduct/ethics for a person on such a high position in an educational institution.
The students of the college, time and again, protested against the un-ethical attitude of the principal but the higher authorities did not heed to the issue. Now the level of the patience among the teachers and students has completely exhausted and they will no more tolerate this derogatory behavior of the principal in future. If the principal further continues in the college, the risk of open clashes between staff, students and the principal is inevitable, which will result in serious implications on the teaching and learning environment in the college.
They also said that the principal always threatens the teaching staff with adverse remarks on their annual confidential reports/ACR/PER and reiterates that he would write such remarks which would negatively impact the promotion of the staff. They said that threatening the staff members through the tools of ACR/PER is against the code of business and basic human rights prescribed for principal and the executive officers. All these practices are carried out by the principal only to subdue the staff members
Besides, corporal punishment is banned throughout the world including Pakistan but the sitting principal resorts to severe corporal punishment of students on a regular basis. Beating students in front of students just to terrorize other students results in drain of confidence among them and many of the students intended to leave the college in order to relieve themselves from this tortuous environment.
“In these circumstances, it is requested to kindly transfer the Principal Masood Ahmad Khan from this institution in order to restore teaching and learning environment which has been completely shattered by him. If he continues in his position, the teaching staff will not be responsible for any mishap in this college. It is further informed that if our demand for the removal of the principal is not met, the entire teaching faculty will go on a full-fledged strike and the higher authorities will be responsible for any kind of consequence.”]]>
