The Ministry of Education has transferred Dhaka College sociology professor A.K.M. Rafiqul Alam to Charfassion Government College in Bhola following allegations that he attempted to incite students amid debates over the proposed Dhaka Central University model. The transfer order, issued on December 10 under presidential authority, requires him to be released from his current post by December 18. The ministry described the move as being in the public interest.
The decision follows leaked remarks from an online meeting where Rafiqul Alam allegedly suggested mobilizing students to counter opposition to the proposed university structure. His comments drew criticism from students, who said teachers should guide and protect learners rather than provoke division or unrest. They welcomed the transfer, saying accountability is essential for educators.
The incident has reignited debate over the governance of the seven affiliated colleges and the future of higher education reforms. Observers note that the ministry’s swift action signals a zero-tolerance stance toward educators’ involvement in politically sensitive agitation.
