VCs of universities

If we look at the history of appointing VC in public universities, say in the

last 15 years, I think the BNP-Jamaat alliance has done much more damage to the universities than ever before. During the regime of the Awami League government, only one VC from Rajshahi University was removed from his post because of his indulgence in corruption and giving shelter to the Jamaat student wing. Teachers and students, irrespective of political affiliations, joined the movement to remove the then Jamaat-backed VC. We all know how the student wing of the Jamaat jeopardised the academic activities in the university by resorting to terrorism for more than 3 months. During the last four-party government, the elected VCs were removed without any cause. For a long time, there is no elected VC in Rajshahi and Chittagong University. No initiatives were taken to elect VC from the senate panel.

So my point is that it is the four-party government which might be responsible for violating the 1973 Act. Demanding restructuring of the Act is nothing wrong, but the teachers must be consulted.
