Stop 'irregularities' in CU teachers' recruitment

Demand pro-BNP-Jamaat teachers
CU Correspondent
The Chittagong University teachers backed by opposition BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami yesterday demanded a stop to all "irregularities" in the teachers' recruitment process immediately. They alleged that the university authorities recruited some teachers on political consideration at the last syndicate meeting on March 15, disregarding the existing rules of recruitment. Their another demand was bringing back congenial educational atmosphere after ensuring accommodation of resident students in the halls and release of all innocent students who were arrested unlawfully. The authorities have created an unstable environment at the university by barring resident students from entering Shah Jalal and Shah Amanat halls, they alleged. The pro-opposition teachers put the demands at a press conference at the university's central library auditorium yesterday, attended by some 30 teachers. Prof KM Golam Mohiuddin, convener of Pro-BNP-Jamaat teachers' panel, read out a written statement at the conference. The teachers warned that they would stage a sit-in in front of the vice chancellor's office on April 8 if they did not get any declaration from the administration within April 7 regarding their demands.
