Dr Yahia Akhtar, a retired professor of CU, has been appointed as acting VC of the university.



Chattogram, Sept 18 - Professor Dr Muhammad Yahia Akhtar, a retired professor from the Department of Political Science at Chittagong University (CU), has been appointed as the acting Vice-Chancellor (VC) of the university. 

In recent days, students had been protesting for a quick appointment of a Vice-Chancellor.

A notification in this regard was issued by the Ministry of Education on Wednesday.

Previously, on August 12, facing demands for the resignation of the Vice-Chancellor and other administrative officials, VC Prof Dr. Md. Abu Taher and two Pro-Vice-Chancellors, Professor Benu Kumar Dey and Professor Sekandar Chowdhury, resigned. 

Since then, Chittagong University has been without administration for more than a month.-UNB
