Draft constitution to be published online soon: VC
The draft constitution of Jagannath University Central Student’s Union (JnUCSU) is set to be published -- for taking everyone’s opinion -- on the university’s website soon, authorities said.
“The draft constitution of JnUCSU will be published on the university’s website soon, seeking opinions from stakeholders,” JnU Vice Chancellor Mijanur Rahman told The Daily Star. The draft will undergo necessary modifications based on stakeholders’ feedback, he added.
The decision was made at the 81st syndicate meeting of the university held at the VC office on Thursday.
The draft constitution will be available on the website for 90 days. Within this time, anyone can provide their opinion on it.
“Suggested modifications will be discussed during the next syndicate meeting,” the VC said.
On July 1 this year, the university authority formed a committee led by law department Prof Sarker Ali Akkas to provide necessary recommendations for amending the JnU Act, 2005, which had no section or sub-section regarding student union polls.
The committee submitted their report to the JnU VC on September 22.
JnU is yet to hold a JnUCSU election since the former Jagannath College turned into a university in 2005. Legal limitations prevented the elections from taking place, officials said.
