My University Islamabad Act, 2013

This Act establishes MY University at Islamabad as a degree-awarding body corporate, using essentially the same structure as other Pakistani university-establishment laws of this era (it closely mirrors the SASSI University Islamabad Act, 2013 passed around the same time).

Section 3 establishes the University as a body corporate with perpetual succession, with power to acquire, hold, and transfer property, based principally at Islamabad but able to set up additional campuses and centres elsewhere in Pakistan and abroad. Section 4 sets out the University's powers and purposes, including providing education and research across fields like management sciences, medical sciences, computer sciences, strategic and security studies, environmental sciences, and engineering; holding examinations and conferring degrees and diplomas; affiliating with other institutions; instituting professorships and other academic posts; and building fund-raising and alumni programmes. Section 5 requires the University to be open to all classes and creeds, and Section 6 addresses teaching arrangements.

Chapter III (Sections 7-17) establishes the University's officers — the Patron, Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, Dean, Registrar, Treasurer, and Controller of Examinations — along with their appointment, removal, and a Visitation power. Chapter IV (Sections 18-25) sets up the University's governing authorities: the Board (of Governors), the Executive Committee, and the Academic Council, along with the First Statutes and the appointment of committees by these bodies. Chapter V (Sections 26-28) governs how Regulations, amendments to Statutes and Regulations, and Rules are made, with Rules becoming effective once approved by the Executive Committee and Board of Trustees.

Chapter VI establishes the University Fund (Section 29), fed by fees, donations, trusts, bequests, and grants, with capital expenditure met from Board contributions and other sources, and any financially-committing donation requiring prior Board approval. Section 30 requires accounts to be maintained under a Finance and Planning Committee comprising the Vice-Chancellor, Deans, a Board nominee, an Academic Council nominee, and an independent auditor's representative, with a quorum of five and three-year terms for nominated members. Chapter VII contains general provisions: Section 31 on commencement of authority members' terms (and automatic resignation after six months' unexplained absence), Section 32 on resolving disputes about membership of authorities, Section 33 protecting decisions from invalidation due to vacancies, Section 34 empowering the Patron to resolve implementation difficulties, and Section 35 granting indemnity for good-faith acts done under the Act.

The extract shows no significant subsequent amendment footnotes, so this 2013 Act appears to remain largely in its original form; readers should still check the University's own Statutes and any later amendments for current governance details.
