KABUL (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 22nd September, 2021) Many professors at Kabul University, one of Afghanistan's main universities, have quit in a show of outrage at the decision of the Taliban (terrorist group, banned in Russia) to appoint a man holding a bachelor's degree in journalism as the dean, sources in the university told Sputnik.

Sources said that the staff were frustrated by Taliban-appointed Mohammad Ashraf Ghairat's lack of administrative or scientific experience.

Ghairat graduated from Kabul University in 2008 and sat on the cultural commission of the Taliban, according to his unverified Twitter account. He plans include the "islamization" of the curriculum and pave the way for "pro-Muslim" scholars to teach at the university, according to his tweet.
