After a long conflict over the issue oof ‘Evening Master’s Programme’, two teachers room of Dhaka University’s Department of Information Science and Library Management was sealed off allegedly by the chairman of the department.
The two teachers are Professor Saiful Alam and Assistant Professor Md Jaber Hossain. They share room number 1019 at Arts Building.
Sources said, teachers of the department have been disagreeing with the chairman of the department, Professor Muhammad Mejbah-ul-Islam, over sharing money in evening master’s programme as well as class distribution. It was learnt that the chairman disputed several times with the teachers over the issue.
Consequently, the chairman sealed off the teachers’ room on Saunday night, it is alleged.
Prof. Jaber Hossain said on Sunday night he went to his residence after having his class. “Peon Kholil phoned me and said the chairman sealed off my office room at 9:00 pm. I did not go to the department on Monday. So, I cannot say anything in this regard,” he said.
Some students of the department alleged that the chairman has behaved badly with the teachers, students and staff of the department. “Our teachers are always eager to take evening courses class. Because teachers get money from these classes,” they said not to named. However, Professor Muhammad Mejba-ul-Islam denied the allegations.
The chairman told The New Nation yesterday that the room padlock has been pirated. As many important papers are in the room, we locked the door with another padlock for security. “As our clerk wrapped the padlock by paper, it seems that we sealed off the room.”
Refuting the allegation of any problem in evening Masters programme, Prof. Mejba said, “We didn’t face any problem with evening coureses.”
He said, “The course began in 2006 and is till running. Already we produced 23 batches and the 24th batch is now running. There is no conflict with teachers about class distribution. Professor Salma Islam is our course coordinator and she equally distribute classes among us. All of our Professors and Lecturers get five hundred taka for each class. So, there is no way to conflict with the issue.”
