Staff Reporter :
A group of teachers of Jahangirnagar University on Saturday urged President Md Abdul Hamid to resolve the ongoing crisis at JU.
The students of JU are observing an indefinite strike demanding resignation of the VC for her alleged involvement in graft.
The teachers issued a notification in this regard, which was signed by President of Jahangirnagar University Teachers’ Association Dr Ajit Kumar Majumder and Secretary Professor Dr Mohammad Sohel Rana.
“The Teachers’ Association is aggrieved by the ongoing crisis at Jahangirnagar University,” the notification said.
”We have taken a decision to seek intervention of the Chancellor to improve the situation prevailing at Jahangirnagar University,” it said. A section of teachers and students have been staging demonstration on the campus demanding VC’s removal since September 18 citing corruption.
Last week, the protesters formed a “VC Removal Mancha”. The protest erupted on the campus on August 23, demanding a judicial inquiry into the reported involvement of the Vice-Chancellor in corruption and mismanagement of Tk 1,445 crore development projects on the campus.
