   Subject:
   Nomination of Dr. Hathal bin Hamoud bin Mesfer Al-Otaibi as President of
   the International Islamic University, Islamabad (IIUI)
   Reference Ministry of Federal Education & Professional Training No.4-
   10/2020-IC-II Dated April 29, 2020, on the subject referred to above.
   02.
   IIU is one of the leading universities of the country. It is truly an international
   university, and has the highest number of foreign students in any Pakistani university.
   Currently, 1,601 foreign students from 29 different countries, including such non-Muslim
   countries as Russia, China, India, and South Africa, are enrolled there.
   03.
   According to the IIU Ordinance [Section-13(1)], the President of the IIUI is the
   academic and administrative officer of the institution [Section-13(3) (a)]. He/she is to be
   appointed by the Board of Trustees, “out of a panel to be recommended by the Rector, on
   such terms and conditions as the Board of Trustees may determine and shall hold office during
   the pleasure of the Board of Trustees for a term not exceeding four years”. The President of
   Pakistan is the Chancellor of the University [Section-9] and Chairman of the Board of Trustees
   [Section- 17(i)].
   04.
   There has been an informal practice of appointing the President on the
   recommendation of a particular friendly government. This is not a legal requirement but a
   gentlemen’s agreement founded on the deep and lasting friendship with this particular
   country. The nomination of Dr. Al-Otaibi by this government follows this practice.
   05.
   In recent years, however, this agreement has been put to a severe test because
   of the problems that emerged during the tenure of the outgoing President1
   , who was also
   nominated in accordance with the above practice. Unfortunately, he failed to earn the respect
   of his peers. His academic record was quite undistinguished, and he had almost no
   management experience before taking up this prestigious responsibility. Despite spending 8
   years in Pakistan, he acquired no ability to speak Urdu, English or any other language spoken
   in the country. His tenure was plagued by persistent accusations of mismanagement and

   1 Dr. Ahmed Bin Yousif Al-Draiweesh, is the President, IIU since October 12, 2012. During this period, Dr. AlDraiweesh has been granted three tenures with the last term of fresh appointment for four years w.e.f July 1st
   ,
   2018. Summary of appointment tenures along with notifications is at Annex-I
   arbitrary
   decision-making. This has resulted in a high degree of politicization amongst
   students as well as faculty.
   06.
   Today, IIUI is not an easy institution to lead. It requires an experienced
   professional to overcome the recent bitterness, manage competing political forces, find a
   stable solution to the institution’s governance challenges, and restore the traditional prestige
   and image of the institution. Alternatively, exposing a less experienced person to such
   challenges would condemn them to failure. This would be extremely detrimental for the
   university, which is not in a strong position to begin with. It will also tarnish the image of the
   long-standing and deep friendship between the two countries.
   07.
   An organizational review of the résumé of Dr. Hathal bin Hamoud bin Mesfer
   Al-Otaibi is annexed as well for information (Annex-II). As can be seen, there are a number of
   questions about the absence of relevant experience in the resume.
   07.
   In view of the above, the following is proposed for consideration:
   i.
   Consensus: The most urgent task is to reach an agreement among key stakeholders
   (including partner governments) on the selection criteria and the selection process for
   the position. The purpose of formulating these criteria is to ensure that whoever is
   selected will be successful in the endeavor. Draft criteria could be discussed in a
   special meeting of the IIUI Board of Trustees, to be convened by the President of
   Pakistan in his capacity as the Chancellor and Chairman of the IIU Board.
   ii.
   Selection Criteria: As is the case with other heads of universities, the criteria have to
   include academic excellence and eminence, significant experience of financial and
   human resource management (e.g., as the head of a university or similarly large
   academic institution), knowledge of Pakistani society, languages, and culture, and
   exposure to high levels of official and diplomatic circles.
   iii.
   Selection Process: The IIUI statute lays down the process quite clearly, namely the
   recommendation of a panel of names by the Rector for the consideration of the BOT.
   The key stakeholders need either to validate this process, or agree to an alternate
   process (in which case the law may have to be amended), so that it is followed in a
   transparent manner. In either event, best practices in such processes need to be
   followed, including, e.g., an open advertisement, scrutiny by a Search Committee
   headed presumably by the Rector IIU, and the recommendation of a panel of names
   for the consideration of the BOT.
   iv.
   Nominations: Representatives of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are already associated
   in the search process through representation on the BOT. They could be requested to
   nominate a panel of three eminent academicians with the required qualifications and
   diverse and distinguished experience, and the Search Committee could consider thes

   v.
   Future Renewals: Besides new appointments, a formal process also needs to be
   established to consider grant of extension to existing incumbents. To this end, the BOT
   may consider appointing a high level Performance Evaluation Committee, with
   representation from the HEC, MoFE&PT, MoFA and a Vice Chancellor of a federally
   chartered public sector university as appointed by the Chancellor IIU.
   vi.
   The Current Situation: The above consensus could also inform actions needed
   immediately, including further scrutiny of Dr. Al-Otaibi’s credentials.

   جب وہ سعودی غیر قانونی طریقہ سے اتنی بڑی پوسٹ پر اتنا چھوٹا سنسان بیٹھا ہو تو وہ اسی طرح کی حرکتیں کرتا ہے
   بی او ٹی نے اسے کہا کہ باز آ جاو غیر قانونی حرکتوں سے تو اس نے غصہ ملازمین جامعہ اور ان کے لیڈران پر نکالنا شروع کر دیا
