ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY, Oct 02 (UNB): The authorities of Islamic University (IU) in Kushita issued on Monday show-cause notices on two of its teachers after a probe body found their involvement in teachers' recruitment scam.

The decision was taken at the 242nd syndicate meeting with IU vice-chancellor Prof M Harun-Ur-Rashid Askari in the chair at his residence around 9:00 pm.

The two professors are associate Professor M Baki Billah Bikul of Bangla department and Prof M Shahadat Hossain Azad of English department of the university, said IU acting registrar SM Abdul Latif.

They were asked to submit their replies within seven working days, he added.
