Former additional secretary Abdul Mannan was appointed treasurer of the university, with the approval of President Abdul Hamid, also the chancellor of universities, said a Secondary and Higher Education Division gazette notification issued on May 5.
Demanding cancellation of the appointment and revision of the relevant law, DUTA yesterday said appointing a former additional secretary to a top position of a public university goes against the tradition and is part of a long-term plan aiming to appoint more bureaucrats in the universities.
In a state, definition of work and it s purview of work is different for each profession. Appointing a different professional at one of the top administrative positions of a university may create chaos in the administration and state, the statement said.
