Show cause notice served on 230 NU teachers, staff

Unb, Gazipur
Some 230 National University teachers, officials and staff appointed during the BNP regime in 2004 have been served with show cause notice as to why action against them would not be taken, including dismissal from service. The notice, dated September 23, signed by the NU registrar was served on Sunday and Monday asking them to reply within 10 days. It said they secured employment illegally in connivance with the then syndicate. NU Deputy Registrar Nurul Amin, who received the show cause notice, told UNB that the move was taken on the report of a controversial inquiry committee set up by the syndicate. The report was biased and politically motivated. He said all of them underwent competitive tests and interviews for the job. The administration is trying to render them, who have been serving for long six years, jobless merely for appointment during the BNP regime, he claimed. Others said they will launch constitutional movement against the politically motivated action of the government.
