In 1997 the university’s Vice
Chancellor has formed what was called the
Technical Committee chaired by the deputy
secretary of the academic affairs and with
membership of some selected academic staff
representing the four campuses to rehabilitate
the laboratories and to be responsible for the
supply of chemicals, glassware and equipment. |
 |
|
| |
|
| |
Because of the huge job to be
shouldered by such committee, the university Senate has
passed in September 1999 a suggestion to form the
Laboratories Technical Administration (Labotead). |
| |
|
| |
Later the vice chancellor has formed
a council to govern and approve the policies of the Labotead
chaired by the deputy vice chancellor.
Since that time the Labotead has
worked hard to fulfill the expectations and the table
below shows the money being spent (in US dollar). |
