BESTARI JAYA, 7 Aug: Selangor took one step forward when a special committee called the Search Committee was established the mechanism for selecting the top leader of the University of Selangor (UNISEL).
The Selangor Exco for Education, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, said that the committee is comprised of academics from within and outside UNISEL, and industry players in Selangor.
“We will go through the process of selecting new candidates for positions such as the Vice Chancellor and the Deputy Vice Chancellor by the Search Committee. After this process, they will be recommended to the Board of Directors for the final decision.
“This is a different improvement process from the process at the federal government, for example, people who are not known are suddenly appointed by certain leaders,” he said during a press conference at the UNISEL campus in Bestari Jaya today.
He said that the establishment of the committee was also suggested by the Improvement Committee which can enhance academic freedom, as suggested by the state government.
