NOBODY is surprised
Your stakes are high when you’ve worked hard to achieve something. When you’re making sacrifices along the way to ensure everything goes according to plan, “surprise” is something least expected. But if you’re a Student of FAST you better be prepared for surprises. Surprises that would nullify and rip-apart all you efforts & sacrifices in just a few moments. You might end up being a NOBODY.
NOBODY is, what you actually were, are and will be. But you’re never given this impression until now. Because until now, you were important, because you and your efforts were required. So now, when you’re NOT required, you’re not important. And when you’re not important, you’re just a NOBODY.
At the top of the picture is SOMEBODY. That SOMEBODY has all the rights; even the right to make the wrong decisions. And NOBODY has the right to question SOMEBODY.
If you’re confused, my apologies for that. But if you’re a student of FAST, you better get used to it.
This blog-post is a dedication to the imposing attitude of SOMEBODY, who cancelled SOFTEC today and surprised NOBODY.

This blog-post is not about the decision (of cancelling SOFTEC) being right or wrong. It’s about the decision making process and the attitude that “We are smart and important and They are neither smart nor important”.
In the current state of terror struck motherland of ours, being the head of a co-educational institution is perhaps the most difficult of jobs these days. Whatever options you have to choose from, at the end of the day you must take into consideration that you are responsible for the lives and security of your students. Fatal damage or loss to even a single family would be the worst of all situations your decision might lead to.
My take is that you should still take all stakeholders on board in the decision making process. Decision reached through collective wisdom jells in people and thus it is far more superior to an individual’s brilliance.

Precisely my point. I tried arguing about the method rather than the decision and kept on receiving irrelevant justifications for the decision. The little defense they put for the method, with all due respect, was quite myopic and absurd.

I agree with you to some extent BB.
But the terror was not the main factor. Cmon LUMS, AMIC, UMT, Comsats.. all had their celebrations and events.. nothing happened..!!
i guess the decision makers need some balls
