Appoint senior professors in absence of VCs, pro-VCs: education ministry
All the public universities of the country will be temporarily managed by senior professors in absence of vice chancellors, pro-vice chancellors, and treasurers.
The secondary and higher education division of the ministry issued a notification in this regard yesterday.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. The education ministry directed the universities to appoint a senior professor to oversee urgent financial and administrative matters, and the decision would be made in consultation with the deans' council and departmental heads.
The directive comes in response to a wave of resignations and absences among the public universities' administrative officials. Several vice-chancellors and other officials have either resigned or remained absent at their positions. These vacancies have created significant disruptions in the day-to-day financial and administrative activities of the universities.
That's why instruction of appointing a senior professor at the universities came to fill the leadership void until new VCs are appointed.
