Saifuddin Abdullah tidak berpuas hati kerana Prof. Mohammad Redzuan, Pengarah UMCEDEL, sebuah unit yang membuat kaji selidik untuk kesenangan Anwar Ibrahim, tidak lagi disambung jawatan Dekan di Universiti Malaysia, sebaliknya hanya seorang pensyarah biasa.
Pakatan Rakyat dan jentera propaganda mereka seperti Malaysian Insider menjadikan berita sebenar sebagai berita bohong dengan menyatakan, Prof. Redzuan DIPECAT SERTA-MERTA. Sedangkan hakikatnya, dia cuma kehilangan jawatan Dekan akibat daripada proses pilihanraya.
Jawatan Dekan bukanlah jawatan yang dipegang sampai mati. Universiti mempunyai kuasa autonominya yang tersendiri dan Redzuan berada dalam sistem berkenaan yang menyaksikan, dia tidak terpilih untuk jawatan Dekan.
Sesuatu yang lumrah dalam proses perjawatan di Universiti-Universiti seluruh dunia.
Berikut adalah kenyataan media dari Universiti Malaya
Professor Mohammad Redzuan’s tenure not extended due to election process
Referring to the current news reports, highlighting the issue of Professor Mohammad Redzuan’s tenure as the Dean of Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences not being extended, the management would like to state that this was a decision based on democratic and transparent election process.
The management would like to clarify that this election exercise is a normal process to decide the faculty deans for the upcoming term after their tenure expires on the 30th of June 2014.
The position of faculty dean is an administrative position, whereby the appointment is by the Vice-Chancellor for one term (2 or 3 years) and subject to the normal process of selection: application by academic staff, election by faculty members; followed by interview and a panel selection headed by the Vice-Chancellor.
In accordance with the University of Malaya constitution 2010, sub section 24(4) which provides the Vice-Chancellor the authority to appoint a Dean/Director for each faculty, school, centre, academy and institute, the Vice-Chancellor shall appoint the said Dean/Director from among three candidates who have received the highest scores.
From the list of the three candidates who received the highest scores from the elections held from the 10th to 12th June, an interview was conducted with each of the candidates from the 17th until 20th of June to decide on the appointment of the new Dean/Director for 2014.
Professor Mohammad Redzuan was shortlisted among two other candidates, Professor Dr Md Sidin Ahmad and Professor Dato' Dr. Azizan Hj Abu Samah.
After lengthy deliberations, the management decided to appoint Professor Dr Md Sidin, 55, as the new Dean of Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, taking into account Professor Mohammad Redzuan’s, 59, expected retirement next year and the opportunity for Professor Dr Md Sidin to familiarize himself with his new role as Professor Mohammad Redzuan’s successor.
The management also took into consideration the the two terms served by Professor Mohammad Redzuan (3+2 years) with Professor Md Sidin’s appointment providing stability in line with the faculty’s succession plan.
The appointment of Professor Md Sidin, is timely as he was formerly the Deputy Dean (Postgraduate) Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences for 5 years and is seen as the perfect candidate to continue in the faculty’s outstanding culture of excellence in research.
Regarding the allegations of outside interference in the removal of Professor Mohammad Redzuan as the Director of University of Malaya’s Centre for Democracy and Elections (Umcedel), the management would like to take this opportunity to clarify certain issues regarding this matter.
Firstly, the management would like to categorically state that this decision was taken in the interests of the university and not in any way linked to any form of pressure from outside parties.
This decision was solely taken by University of Malaya in light of Professor Mohammad Redzuan’s impending retirement next year and to provide his deputy, Dr. Amir Saifude Ghazali an opportunity to familiarize himself with the responsibilities as a the survey body’s director.
Nevertheless, Professor Mohammad Redzuan will still be contributing his expertise as a member of UMCEDEL’s research group and as a professor in the History Department in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
His invaluable knowledge and wisdom will certainly be asset in grooming the upcoming political researchers in maintaning UMCEDEL’s position as the premier political research body in the country.
Vice-Chancellor,
Professor Dato’ Dr. Mohd Amin Jalaludin
Pudin ni apalah yang dia boleh buat.. Jadi MP Tloh dulu, janji manis je yang dia tau, satu IPT pun tak boleh dibina di tloh walaupun kapasiti sebagai Timbalan Menteri KPT pada masa itu. Itu "dosa" dia paling besar kpd rakyat Temerloh sehingga tidak mengundinya dan sanggup sokong PAS. Kalau BN nak semula kerusi temerloh senang jer.. buatlah 2,3 IPT seperti Uitm, politeknik, kolej matrikulasi, maktab perguruan dan bina MRSM yang dijanjikan, CONFIRM kerusi BN akan dikembalikan, Rakyat Temerloh hati lembut kalau janji ditepati.
