RU teachers urge CA to cancel mass recruitment


The Progressive Teachers' Society (PTS), a pro-liberation war teachers' body of Rajshahi University, urged the president and the chief adviser of the caretaker government to cancel the mass recruitment in the university.

The teachers' body on Sunday faxed a memorandum to President Iajuddin Ahmed in this regard following a steering committee meeting.

According to the memorandum, the university administration recruited 546 class III and IV employees on daily basis violating university rules and under political consideration in April 2004.

It said a number of criminals, muggers and drug addicts got appointment through this recruitment.

The controversial appointees physically assaulted teachers and officials and also destroyed valuable properties of the university several times demanding regularisation of their jobs, said the memo.

A case has been filed challenging the contentious recruitment, the memo said.
