The Chittagong University administration has cancelled the elected syndicate membership of Dr. Mohammad Shamim Uddin Khan, former Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academic). The decision, communicated on June 29, 2026, followed legal advice from the Attorney General. The administration cited the university’s diary and calendar, which showed a vacancy in the professor category of the syndicate, as one of the bases for the move. Dr. Shamim had been elected to the syndicate in March 2023 for a two-year term ending in March 2025.
Dr. Shamim was appointed Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academic) in September 2024 and later returned to his Finance Department post in June 2026 after completing his deputation. The administration questioned whether he could resume his elected syndicate role after returning to his department. Following a June 11 syndicate meeting and subsequent legal consultation, the university decided he could not continue as a syndicate member.
Dr. Shamim and his legal counsel argued that his membership remained valid under the 1973 University Act, claiming the administration’s action lacked legal basis. They maintained that his elected position should automatically continue until the end of the original term.
