In the faxed memoranda, former Syndicate member and assistant professor Fayekuzzman of Islamic History and Culture department alleged that the vice-chancellor controversially recruited more than 500 teachers, officials and employees on political considerations by violating directives of the UGC and the ministry.

Fayekuzzman also alleged that the VC appointed three relatives as lecturers in the Institute of Business Administration (IBA) though no post was vacant.

He (VC) abused power by appointing pro-Jamaat teacher Prof Nazrul Islam as a permanent professor at the Education and Research Institute without any advertisement.

The VC also promoted a pro-Jamaat assistant registrar to the post of registrar with out calling selection committee meeting.

Violating the University Act, the VC re-appointed some former deans to their posts after expiry of tenure without election, he alleged in the memo.

When contacted, VC Prof Altaf Hossain said, "I did not receive such a memorandum, so I can not say anything about the matter".

When contacted Fayekuzzman said, "As a conscious man I protested the irregularities and corruption by the VC".

Earlier, some pro-Awami League teachers of RU met with the UGC chairman and demanded action against those involved in 'controversial' recruitment, corruption, nepotism and violation of the University Act during the BNP-Jamaat rule.
