UGC recommends axing Gopalganj University VC

An investigation committee of the University Grants Commission has recommended dismissing Gopalganj University Vice-Chancellor Khondoker Md Nasiruddin, reports bdbews24.com.

The five- man strong committee has found truth in the allegations of tyranny, irregularities, corruption and moral lapse against him, an official said after the UGC stated in a media release that it forwarded the report to the education ministry.

The UGC official spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to reveal details of the report, which has been made following widespread criticisms and protests against Nasiruddin.

UGC Chairman Professor Md Kazi Shahidullah declined to speak about the report, saying the ministry would decide about its publication and implementation.

The official who spoke on condition of anonymity said the investigators detailed the situation at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and Technology University or BSMRSTU and responsibilities of different sides for the situation.

"Irregularities and allegations have been detailed in the report. The committee believes it will not be possible for the VC to tackle the situation," the official said.
