Two DU teachers
terminated for staying abroad without permission The Dhaka University
(DU) authorities have terminated two teachers for not rejoining work
following a leave of absence. The sacked teachers
are Nusrat Farah and Mohammad Shoriful Islam of accounting and information
systems department. Moreover, another teacher named Professor Anup
Kumar Saha of the same department was reinstated after almost two years
according to the order of the High Court. The decisions were
taken at a syndicate meeting chaired by the university's vice-chancellor Prof
Md Akhtaruzzaman on Sunday afternoon. University
Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education) Professor ASM Maksud Kamal confirmed the
information. "Lecturers in
the Department of Accounting and Information Systems, Nusrat Farah and
Mohammad Shariful Islam, have been suspended for staying abroad without
permission," Professor Kamal said. DU Vice Chancellor
Prof Akhtaruzzaman said, " The decision was taken to reinstate Anup Saha
following court order." Besides, a
five-member inquiry committee headed by the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education)
has been constituted to find out why Professor Anup Kumar was not allowed to
join and why there was a lack of information that barred him to join his
position.
On November 25 last
year, the court ordered the reinstatement of Professor Anup Kumar. He was
sacked on October 2, 2018, for allegedly using his doctorate to join the
ranks of assistant professors before completing his PhD. However, a
High Court judge declared the decision of the university authorities invalid
and ordered the reinstatement of the teacher.
On the other hand,
Aparajita International, a company owned by Sharmin Jahan, provided fake Mask
to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU). Police arrested
Sharmin in a case filed by BSMMU in this incident. Subsequently DU authorities
suspended her on charges of tarnishing the dignity and image of the
university. |
