Federal University Dutse (FUD) has denied claims made by former lecturer Dr Ramla Muhammad Kamal regarding her termination, stating that the matter is currently under review in the Federal High Court. The university maintains that all actions taken against her were carried out in accordance with due process. Dr Kamal was initially hired in 2018 and granted a two-year study fellowship at Universiti Putra Malaysia, which was extended until November 10, 2022.
However, she failed to return to duty after the fellowship period ended. In response, FUD initiated disciplinary proceedings and invited her to defend her position before the Senior Staff Disciplinary Committee (SSDC), which she failed to attend. The university computed the salaries paid to her during her tenure and defended the publication featuring her name, stating that it was part of an official administrative process.
The university has filed a preliminary objection to challenge the court's jurisdiction over the case and emphasized its commitment to fair practices, accountability, and compliance with applicable laws.
