Teachers of Gazipur Agricultural University (GAKRUBI) have strongly opposed the possible appointment of an external candidate as the university’s pro-vice chancellor. The protest was expressed through a human chain held on Sunday afternoon at the university campus, organized by the Gazipur Agricultural University Teachers’ Association (GAKRUBIS). Association leaders warned that faculty members would not accept any outsider in the position, citing growing concern and dissatisfaction over rumors of such an appointment.

Speakers at the event argued that the university already has many honest, qualified, and experienced professors who are capable of providing administrative leadership. They cautioned that appointing someone from outside could disrupt the academic environment, research activities, and administrative stability, potentially causing unrest and division within the university community. The teachers emphasized that leadership should come from within the institution to preserve its academic culture and continuity.

The association urged the authorities to appoint a pro-vice chancellor from among the university’s own senior professors to ensure institutional stability and uphold its academic progress.
