DU appoints 3 lecturers without master's degree

Dhaka University (DU) authorities have appointed three candidates—Tanvir Ahmed, Nurus Sakib and Sajib Borua—without a master's degree as lecturers in the applied chemistry and chemical engineering department of the university.
 According to sources, the three were appointed on Monday night at a syndicate meeting of the university, where a total of nine candidates were approved as lecturers in the respective department. The other candidates are: Dr Sharuzzaman, Mohammad Shirazur Rahaman, Shanta Bisawas, Md Minhazul Islam, Md Shazzadul Islam and Saikat Chandra De. All of them officially joined the department on Tuesday. 
According to the ‘Teacher appointment policy’ of the university, any applicant must hold honours and master's degrees from the respective department, and must be a scholar in the respective subject. Applicants with a higher degree or thesis will be given priority. 
But the syndicate has approved the applications of these three candidates without taking suggestions from the respective department and the C and D (coordination and development) committee that generally checks the application process. According to sources, the department had published a recruitment notice for four teachers in August. 
Following the policy of the C and D committee, individual departments send their demands to the syndicate committee and issue a recruitment notice after their demands are approved. But this time, the selection committee recommended  the names of the nine applicants as lecturers in the respective department at the syndicate meeting, which was presided over by DU vice- chancellor AAMS Arefin Siddique, and got the necessary approval.
Prof. M Nurul Amin, chair of the respective department, told The Independent, “The department did not send any proposal of teacher recruitment and we didn't know how many had applied for the post.”
‘Later, as a member of the selection committee, I came to know that there were 23 applications for the posts and most of them have honours and master's degrees," he said.
Sources also said that some of the syndicate members raised their objections about the recruitment. When asked, DU vice-chancellor Prof. AAMS Arefin Siddique said, "Three of the applicants are currently pursuing their master's from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). They have been appointed as temporary lecturers until the completion of their master's degree.”
