IU halts 2 recruitment boards

The authorities of Islamic University in Kushtia on Wednesday night postponed recruitment boards of its transport office and engineering office as several audio clips of conversations between its vice-chancellor and a job seeker went viral on Facebook.

The decision was made at an emergency meeting of the university administration with IU vice-chancellor Shaikh Abdus Salam in the chair, said a press release, signed by IU information, publication and public relations office deputy registrar Rashiduzzaman Khan Tutul amid protests of the ruling Awami League-backed student body Bangladesh Chhatra League for the removal of the vice-chancellor.

A total of eight audio conversations between VC Salam and a job seeker went viral on the social media from Thursday night.
