Irregularities in Recruitment
RU VC, pro-VC sued
A case was filed with a Rajshahi court on Wednesday accusing the vice chancellor, pro-vice chancellor and seven other officials of Rajshahi University of being involved in recruitment irregularities over two sports officer posts.
The Rajshahi District Senior Assistant Judge Court served a show cause notice asking RU authorities to explain in 24 hours why a third job advert was issued for the posts without holding vivas after the first two.
The recruitment process of sports officers requires holding viva of applicants whose qualifications meet the criteria mentioned in the adverts.
It also asked them to explain why they should not be directed to cancel the viva relating to the third advert, scheduled to be held tomorrow.
The case, filed by a candidate for the posts, Nazmul Haque, stated that the first two adverts for the vacancies in Physical Education Department and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall were published in 2005 and 2006.
But without holding any viva, RU issued a third advert for the same posts on 2011 and was going to hold the viva for it.
The remaining seven accused are Registrar Prof MA Bari, deputy registrars Ajit Kumar Chakravarti and Nazrul Islam, Student Adviser Prof Golam Sabbir Sattar, Physical Education Department Director Mir Sharif Hasan, Prof Shamsuddin Ilias of psychology department and Prof Abu Sadek Mohammad Kamruzzaman of finance and banking department.
RU Legal Cell Administrator Dr Anisur Rahman said they received the notice yesterday at around 11:00am and were preparing to comply with it.
