This is a first instance of its kind since the university's launching in 1966.

The syndicate also terminated Mohammad Nazim Uddin, general secretary of CU Employees' Union, on different charges including bribery, fraudulence and making indecent proposal to a driver's wife.

The syndicate took the decisions in its 442nd meeting held with Vice-chancellor M Badiul Alam in the chair.

Sources said the syndicate earlier suspended Milton Biswas, a teacher of Bangla department, temporarily after a committee headed by Arts Faculty Dean Mansur Uddin Ahmed detected Milton's handwriting on the answer script of Zinat Sultana during the second year honours final examination in 2006.

The syndicate later formed another probe committee headed by Abdus Salam, which also found Milton guilty.

Sources said Milton would not get promotion in the next three years due to yesterday's decision.

The teacher would also not be allowed to take part in any examination related activities of the department for the next ten years, sources added.

Talking to The Daily Star, syndicate member Helal Uddin Nizami said they would not compromise on any irregularity.

"Rule of justice should be established in the university," Nizami said adding, "None will be spared if found guilty."

The employees' leader Nazim was terminated as he allegedly made an indecent proposal to a driver's wife while promising her a job.

Nazim also allegedly helped a student to get admission in the university school by altering his father's name.

He also took Tk 50,000 from an employee on master roll in return for regularising his job.
