Taliban has sacked Kabul University's PhD holder Vice-Chancellor Muhammad Osman Baburi and replaced him with Muhammad Ashraf Ghairat, a BA degree holder.
Around 70 teaching staff of Afghanistan's Kabul University, including assistant professors and professors, resigned after the Taliban on Wednesday sacked PhD holder Vice-Chancellor Muhammad Osman Baburi and replaced him with Muhammad Ashraf Ghairat, a BA degree holder.
The appointment of Ashraf Ghairat as the Vice-Chancellor in the biggest university based in Kabul has led to protests on social media. Critics have highlighted a tweet by Ashraf Ghairat last year in which he justified the killing of journalists.
People are angry over the appointment of a young bachelor degree holder replacing an intellectual and experienced PhD holder as head of the best and the very first university in Afghanistan reported The Khaama Press News Agency.
The people, including some Taliban members, have criticized the move and said that there were more eligible people than him, reported The Khaama Press News Agency.
