The government yesterday formed a two-member probe commission to resolve the stalemate at Jahangirnagar University over some teachers’ demand for removal of Vice Chancellor Prof Anwar Hossain.
The commission led by University Grants Commission member M Muhibur Rahman will submit its report in 15 working days, said an official order of the education ministry. The second member is the ministry’s Joint Secretary Mohammad Ahasanul Jabbar.
The order came upon a directive of President Abdul Hamid, also chancellor of JU.
On August 24, Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid at a meeting with the agitating teachers, who had confined the VC to his office for four days since August 21 to force him to quit, assured them of investigating their allegations against Prof Anwar.
The crisis at JU began on April 6 when Bangladesh Chhatra League’s JU unit General Secretary Rajib Ahmed Rasel assaulted a teacher. The agitating teachers demanded Prof Anwar’s removal for not expelling Rajib. They also accused him of doing anomalies in teachers’ appointments, ruining the campus by taking up unnecessary projects, and misusing funds.
ASSAULT BY SENIORS PROTESTED
Over a hundred of the first year students of JU yesterday blocked the Dhaka-Aricha highway for half an hour to protest against an assault on one of their fellows by some seniors.
The agitators said some second year students mentally and physically tortured 11 of their fellows early yesterday, leaving one of them injured, reports our JU correspondent.
The seniors, however, denied the allegation, saying they only rebuked the juniors for passing lewd comments to two senior female students on Sunday night.
The seniors include Golam Sarwar Badhan and Md Razib of urban and regional planning, Robiul Islam Jamil of physics, and Tazbiur Rahman Masuk of government and politics department.
PROTEST AGAINST SHIBIR ATTACKS
The JU unit BCL formed a human chain on the campus yesterday, demanding punishment for the Islami Chhatra Shibir men who recently assaulted BCL activists at Rajshahi University and the Shahjalal University for Science and Technology in Sylhet, adds the JU correspondent.
