Some senior teachers said that the conversations of the vice-chancellor went viral on social media one after another but the government, the Ministry of Education and UGC did not take any decision regarding the leaked audio conversations.

They, in a press conference held on April 3, sought prime minister’s intervention regarding the leaked audio conversations, said IU Awami League-backed teachers’ alliance Shapla Forum’s general secretary Professor M Mahbubar Rahman.

The vice-chancellor tarnished the image of the university by adopting unfair means of recruiting teachers and drivers at the university, he added.

IUTA general secretary Professor Tapon Kumar Godder said that they sent written documents to the prime minister, the president, the education minister and the chairman of the University Grants Commission in this connection.

They should look into the matter, he added.

IU vice-chancellor Shaikh Abdus Salam said that he had nothing to say regarding the leaked audio conversations. “May Allah bless the person who leaked his conversations,” he said.
