Thursday, 16 August 2007


Authorities of Dhaka University have cancelled admission of nine more students, who got admitted through fraudulent means, reports BSS.
The university syndicate at a meeting last night with vice- chancellor (VC) SMA Faiz in the chair took the decision.
Of the nine fake students, eight got admitted to the International Relations Depart-ment and one to the Library and Information Science Depart-ment, according to sources.
The syndicate took the decision on the basis of reports of the fact-finding committee that has been working for detecting fake students at the university.
The committee, headed by Pro-VC AFM Yusuf Haider, has so far identified 167 fake students since its formation on October 10, 2006. The syndicate cancelled admission of all of them, according to the sources.
The fact-finding committee was formed in the wake of allegations of inconsistencies in the admission papers of 11 students of the Public Administration Department of the 2004-05 academic session.
A drive was launched in March this year to find out fake students in the faculties of Arts and Social Sciences following the probe committee's report on forgery in the admission.
