IU stalemate continues
Teachers of Islamic University (IU) brought out a silent procession on the campus yesterday, demanding removal of vice chancellor, pro-vice-chancellor and treasurer of the university.
Held under the banner of Islamic University Teachers Association (IUTA), the procession started from the main faculty area in the morning and terminated at the administration building.
A rally was chaired by IUTA president Professor Yakub there and it was addressed, among others, by IUTA general secretary Prof ASM Toriqul Islam, IU unit Bangabandhu Parishad general secretary Prof Ruhul Kuddus Md. Saleh, president of IU unit Zia Parishad Professor Alinoor Rahman, former IU unit Bangabandhu Parishad general secretary Prof Mahbubur Rahman, vice-president of IUTA Prof Dr. Abu Sinha and Prof Mueed Rahman.
The teachers blamed the university authorities for creating a deadlock at the university through their various activities including recent illegal recruitment.
"We want removal of the trio for the greater interest of the university. We will not work under this 'corrupt' administration," Prof Yakub Ali, said.
The university administration has tarnished the image of the government through a massive recruitment trade, said Prof Saleh.
“The stalemate at the university will end only after removal of the VC, pro-VC and treasurer,” Prof Saleh said.
A deadlock has been prevailing at the university since September 8 after a syndicate meeting appointed 132 teachers and staffs including daughter of the vice-chancellor as a lecturer at the department of Applied Chemistry, sources said.
The teachers during its agitation today will wear black badges and hold a human chain on Wednesday on the campus, said IUTA sources.
