The Jagannath University branch of the University Teachers Association of Bangladesh (UTAB) has demanded the resignation of the university’s current vice-chancellor. In a press release signed by branch president Professor Dr. Mohammad Nasir Uddin on Sunday, the organization alleged that the vice-chancellor has prioritized political agendas over institutional development, leading to instability on campus.
According to the statement, Jagannath College was converted into a university in 2005 but has since struggled to achieve its goals due to political influences. Following the mass uprising of August 5, 2024, controversies reportedly arose over the appointment of the current vice-chancellor. UTAB claimed that the vice-chancellor failed to implement the outcomes of joint movements by teachers, students, and staff, and that recent clashes during the university journalists’ association election further disrupted campus stability.
The UTAB branch expressed no confidence in the vice-chancellor and urged him to resign respectfully. It also warned of complete non-cooperation if he refuses to step down.
