Vice-chancellors of public universities should not be involved in irregularities and corruption and those involved in corruption should be brought under the law, said Vice-Chancellor Dhaka University Prof. Md. Akhtaruzzaman on Friday.

He was addressing a shadow parliament at FDC organized by 'Debate for Democracy' on 'the role of teachers and students in preventing instability in the campus', said a media statement.

To maintain a friendly atmosphere on campus, both students and teachers need to be responsible in choosing words and criticizing opponents, he added.

Hasan Ahmed Chowdhury Kiran, Chairman of Debate for Democracy, presided over the function.

Chowdhury Kiran said that the good relationship between the students and teachers plays an important role in maintaining the learning environment in the educational institution.

The recent incident at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology was extremely painful. The agitating students are still in a tough position to demand the resignation of Farid Uddin Ahmed, the vice-chancellor of Shahjalal University, he added.

He also made a six-point recommendation to enhance the quality of education by maintaining a respectful teacher-student relationship on campus.

Professor Dr Akhtaruzzaman further said concerned authorities of the government are working to resolve the ongoing crisis of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology.

The education curriculum is being restructured in line with the Sustainable Development Goals by publishing international standard journals, increasing research collaboration, expanding partnerships with world-renowned universities and raising the position of Dhaka University in the international index.

In addition, other programs are being taken in the light of the parameters on which international indicators are made, he added.
