The Islamic University Teachers Association (IUTA) yesterday declared the university vice chancellor, the pro vice chancellor and the treasurer unwanted on the campus.
The decision, taken in a meeting of IUTA at its office on the campus in the afternoon, came against the backdrop of continuous stalemate at the university since September 8.
High officials of Islamic University (IU) including VC Prof M Alauddin, Pro VC Prof Kamal Uddin and Treasurer Prof Shahjahan Ali abstained from going to the campus during the time.
In a written statement following yesterday's meeting, the IUTA leaders blamed the present IU administration for the ongoing stalemate at the institution.
Former president of IUTA Prof Makhlukur Rahman, its present General Secretary Prof ASM Toriqul Islam, Prof Motiur Rahman, Prof Tozammel Hossain and Dr Baqibillah addressed the meting presided over by IUTA President Prof Yakub Ali.
They put six-point demand including immediate removal of the VC, the pro VC and the treasurer, cancellation of all illegal recruitment, and judicial inquiry into the recruitment process.
Prof Yakub blamed 'corrupt practices' by the present administration for the unstable situation at the university.
He mentioned a few names as example of appointment through nepotism.
No class or examination will be held in the university until the demand is met, said the IUTA general secretary.
The university got into serious trouble after the syndicate meeting held on September 7 appointed 152 teachers and other staff against 76 advertised positions, said university sources.
Alleging massive irregularities in the recruitment process, Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) on September 8 demanded cancellation of the recruitment and also started agitation for removal of the VC, the pro VC and the treasurer.
Earlier, on September 30, IU unit of Bangabandhu Parishad, an organisation backed by ruling Awami League, termed the VC, the pro VC and the treasurer as 'corrupt' and 'failed' and demanded their immediate removal.
Contacted, IU Treasurer Prof Sahajahan Ali said, "We cannot go to the campus due to movement of BCL. Now the government has to take decision."
This correspondent failed to contact the university vice chancellor and the pro vice chancellor for their versions as their cell phones were found off.
Meanwhile, BCL IU unit yesterday demonstrated on the campus to press home their demand of removal of the VC, the pro VC and the treasurer.
