Three more teachers of Chittagong University have resigned from their different administrative posts, one day after the resignation of the proctor and 16 others.
The three teachers—Provost of Deshnetri Begum Khaleda Zia and Commissioner of Transport Desk Prof Dr Mohammad Saidul Islam and Provost of Atish Dipankar Srigyan dormitory and Assistant Proctor Muhammad Yakub—resigned from their respective posts showing ‘personal reasons’.
Assistant Proctor Muhammad Yakub, said “I did not accept the new proctor of the university ideally as he is a supporter of BNP. It is heard that he was involved in the politics of Chhatra Dal. It is impossible for me to accept a person like him in an important post, that's why I have resigned.
Provost Sumon Barua, said “I have resigned from my post on personal grounds. I need time for my research and students.”
Earlier, CU Proctor and assistant proctor including 15 others resigned from their administrative posts on Sunday.
Soon after their resignation, the university authorities appointed assistant Prof Mohammad Nurul Azim of Marine Science Institute as proctor.

It also appointed Mohammad Rokon Uddin of the Oceanography Department as assistant proctor.
When contacted the vice-chancellor of CU Prof Dr Shirin Akhtar said “I have heard that they were having meetings for the past three months and talking against the administration. Those who have resigned were appointed by former proctor Rabiul.”
