VCs
During the last BNP-Jamaat rule, public university VCs were chosen or handpicked from the bona fide cadres of the party supporters. These party loyalists turned the public universities into party organs. Corruption reports of crores of taka siphoned -off by these party cadre VCs appeared as headlines in the leading national dailies. But so far no investigation has been conducted by the Anti Corruption Commission in this respect. Perhaps the Commission is busy with the political leaders!
The higher education sector is in a mess and unfortunately none of the previous governments went for any reform in the education sector. Public University management, Acts and Ordinances should be thoroughly overhauled and partisan policies curtailed to save huge wastage of public resources.
