Scope and content
Series consists of records relating to Dr. Mustard’s involvement with the Aga Khan University (AKU), based in Karachi, Pakistan. Dr. Mustard served on the Board of Trustees of the AKU since its inception in the early 1980s until his death, and was a member of the Chancellor’s Commission (1992-1995). In the early years, Dr. Mustard was instrumental in building the foundations of the university’s academic programs (especially Medicine) and shaping its administrative structure. In later years, he was involved in developing various academic programs, including the new Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and advocating for a program in human development. This work was also closely aligned with his relationships with Ismaili communities in Canada.
Records consist of various committee files, reports, correspondence and minutes, including correspondence with the head of the institution, His Highness Prince Karim the Aga Khan. Series also consists of photographs of the Board of Trustees (2001 and 2006).
