Forgery


I am shocked by the revelation that two teachers of the Architecture faculty of BUET have been found guilty of forging documents. They did it to advance their careers. One of them produced a letter from UK university which turned out to be false. An investigation committee was formed and the allegations were proven. But then came the more astounding part of the story. The syndicate resorted to nothing less than a whitewash. Instead of the sacking the teachers, token punishment in the form of withholding increments was meted out. This is indeed shameful. No one accused of forgery should have a place in any faculty.

Now as the syndicate has failed to do justice, for political reasons possibly, I would request the VC to look into the matter again.Will the teachers concerned show some self respect and resign?
