Comsats Professor Fired Over Objectionable Quiz Question
Comsats Professor Fired Over Objectionable Quiz Question
Comsats University, Islamabad, has dismissed a professor who allegedly asked an substantially inappropriate question in a test on the English composition of the Bachelor of Electrical Engineering (BEE) program.
Comsats' administration penned a letter to the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) on February 2 to inform it had started an inquiry into the content of the test. The letter stated that the administration had already taken action and the teacher in question had allegedly been blacklisted as well.

Horrified students shared a picture of the question, on which they were supposed to write a 300-word essay answer.
When explaining the reason for the strange question in an exam, the professor attested that he had copied it from Google. This was after being questioned by Additional Registrar Naveed Ahmed Khan.
With all the evidence having spread across social media, people are condemning the incident, requesting strict measures to be taken to avoid a grave mistake like this from repeating.
