Vision???
All I remember about the sucker is seeing him climbing the Admin Department’s stairs at the Main Campus between 10-11 am carrying a plastic bag with the title “Microsoft” packed with papers most of the time. Yes the same place that smelled like a chemistry lab!

During my 2 years stay at the Main Campus, I cannot recall seeing him in the block hosting lecture rooms, even once.

There were other jokers like Rao Nisar and specially the one who had this collection of white shoes and kameez shalwar and hair bonded with oil..yes Mobin Khalili..

I dont know what the place looks like as it has been almost 3 years..but i hope IBA sees of these jokers sooner or later for good..

Dear Minhaaj Sb, How is Danishmand a shame to the nation? Do you have any reasons to back your statement or do you just like making random judgemental statements about people without a reason? You should have mentioned that it’s ONLY your PERSONAL opinion about the professor, which (with due respect) i disagree with. I also apologize if I have hurt your religious sentiments but I had to speak the truth. If you force me any more on this issue, I will start posting those absurd hadiths which i dont want to do. That is why I asked you to please read the hadiths yourself.

I have had the pleasure of working with prof. Danishmand for a number of years. He is a man of principles and is upright honest. He takes no BS and gives no BS (the reason why people don’t like him). despite his seemingly aggresive nature, he is actually very approachable and a good listener. yes! he will shout at you and take exception to anything that he thinks is not in line with his own point of view but he never discouraged me to speak my mind and did not keep anything in his heart to smite me with later, EVER. This is his greatest quality. Many of the comments against the professor on this forum are based on individual incidents and are no more than egoistic rants. and about minhaaj’s comments, well, there are lots of hadith recorded in the ‘authentic’ books on hadith that are simply absurd, non-scientific and may i add filthy in nature. I suggest you read the entire sahi bukhari before making comments. and btw islamic uni is no more islamic (or unislamic) than any other university in pakistan.

i am amazed at his position at international islamic university. This guy said a hadith was ‘absurd’ infront a hall full of people in Pearl Continental Lahore in January 2007 where i was present. What an unfortunate time is that to see losers like him leading an Islamic Uni.

he may have an impressive work experience but he clearly lacks interpersonal skills… he surely does not know how to talk to his sub ordinates… no wonder he kept on changing jobs… no1 could stand him for long… he duz completely the opposite of what he says… i just hope his replacement is a lot better than the latter

Danishmand has officially left IBA. His tenure lasted six years.

heres something in defence of Danishmand.

“Last couple of weeks I’ve been internally burning at the joke that my compensation at IBA had gone up by Rs. 4 per 50 minute session (increment of .003%).

I raised the issue of giving visiting faculty increase of Rs. 4 (about .003%) with Mr. Danishmand, and heads of HR and Accounts team.

It was a positive surprise to hear back from Mr. D himself. He clarified that brackets were revised, but just not in time for printing of appointment letters. After revision, my increment now stands at a whopping 20%. This is good news for anyone thinking of joining a more professional teaching setup (as opposed to running tuition centres, which really exploit on the weakness of our country’s educational system – and in fact, make it even worse by attracting talented individuals to tuition business instead of exploring university and college teaching.

Just to emphasize – not many visiting faculty is here because of financial reasons. For people like Jawed Edhi (who teaches E-Banking), the income from IBA constitutes probably .25% or less of overall compensation. And it takes significant part of our week and our leisure time. We do it because of mix following reasons:

1. we are passionate about teaching the new generation about how things work in the industry and linking knowledge with decisions

2. we genuinely feel we learn a lot ourselves by digging into details of subjects we teach you (like the webvan case study today)

3. to get social recognition for our effort

4. give back to the society who has offered us success

5. passion

Anyways, just wanted to thank the IBA for making it easier for us to continue our passion.
