Although there are no specific rules for the appointment of vice-chancellors (VCs) in public universities, there appears to be an unofficial yet mandatory criterion a teacher has to be affiliated with a pro-government teacher’s panel to be nominated for the top post.
The agitating students of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) have thanked Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for taking care of all the medical expenses of the students injured in the police attack during the movement, and those who fell ill during the hunger strike demanding the vice chancellor's resignation.
Since this morning, SUST campus has been quiet following the end of the hunger strike that began on January 19 demanding the resignation of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology's Vice-Chancellor.
