The government on Tuesday relieved Barishal University鈥檚 vice-chancellor Professor Shuchita Sharmin, pro-vice-chancellor Professor Golam Rabbani and treasurer Professor Mamunur Rashid from their duties amid student protests demanding their removal.
Professor Mohammad Toufiq Alam, who was teaching at Rajshahi University, has been appointed as the acting vice-chancellor.
Three separate notifications were issued signed by ASM Kasem, senior assistant secretary of the Secondary and Higher Education Division of the Education Ministry, in this regard.
The move follows weeks of demonstrations, with students demanding accountability over alleged mismanagement and lack of transparency committed in running the university.
