Recruitment at JnU: Committee formed to probe 15 years of corruption

Jagannath University (JnU) has formed an investigation committee to probe allegations of irregularities and corruption in the recruitment and promotion of teachers, officers, and staff from 2009 to August 2024.

Alongside this, a public notice has been issued seeking information and evidence related to such misconduct during the period.

According to a notice signed by Mohammad Moshiurul Islam, deputy registrar (Administration-1) and issued on Thursday, individuals with information on recruitment or promotion irregularities during the specified time-frame have been requested to submit written complaints by June 30.

The complaints must be submitted in sealed envelopes, and the identities of informer will be kept confidential, according to the notice.

Prof Md Rais Uddin, the convener of the committee and general secretary of the teachers' association, said, "Over the past 15 years, many individuals have allegedly secured appointments and promotions through irregular and corrupt practices. Although complaints were made in the past, previous administrations did not take effective action. The current administration has taken a bold step to investigate these matters. Action will be taken against those found guilty after proper investigation."
