Lift bar to new enrolment
Pvt varsities urge govt
The private university owners yesterday demanded withdrawal of the government decision that says the universities still without permanent campuses cannot enrol new students from October next year.
The education ministry and University Grants Commission (UGC) are trying to implement a "blueprint" in the name of implementing Private University Act 2010, they alleged.
"We will establish the campuses on the basis of students' tuition fees. If the student admission is barred, our revenue would stop and we will fail to buy lands and construct building for permanent campuses," said Abul Quasem Haider, vice-chairman of Association of Private Universities of Bangladesh (APUB).
Asked whether the private universities run only on student fees, Haider could not give any specific answer.
On December 12 last year, Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid disclosed the government decision, over which the APUB gave reaction in a written statement at a press conference in the city yesterday.
APUB Chairman CM Shafi Sami was not present at the conference. When contacted, Sami said the statement was not shown to him.
