The Ministry of Education has appointed new Vice-chancellors to the Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Rabindra University (RU), and Islamic Arabic University (IAU), reports bdnews24.com.

The appointments for four-year terms were made in separate notices from the ministry on Thursday.

Prof SM Hassan Talukder, chairman of the Dhaka University Department of Law, is the new vice-chancellor at RU.
