He said he would wipe out bureaucratic attitudes prevailing in the university and restore teachers' prestige without any discrimination.
He said he would run the university according to four principles - Money, Material, Machine and Men - and take the university to new heights. Mujahid Kamran said he would restore participation of all cadres university teachers in university committees, besides giving due representation to women teachers that comprise over 30 percent of university faculty strength.
He said the university would hold regular meetings of all committees and statutory bodies including Senate, Syndicate, Academic Council and Finance & Planning and decisions taken would be circulated widely to ensure merit and transparency. He said selection board meetings would be held on priority basis to over come the shortage of faculty in the university.

In order to address public complaints, he said a special Complaint and Suggestion Cell would be established, where open door policy would be observed.

Discussing energy crisis in the country, he stressed that university's engineering department should develop small and large power plants so that the power failure issues could be addressed within the university as well as surrounding localities of the university.
The VC also constituted a committee headed by Hailey College of Banking Finance Principal Professor Dr Khawaja Amjad Saeed to raise funds and activate university alumni.
