DU puts on hold evening courses
Dhaka University (DU) authorities have decided to postpone for another five weeks the new enrolment in evening courses.
Your choice was taken at a seven-hour special session meeting of DU Academic Council held at Nabab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Bahabn of the university on Monday, reports UNB.
The session also formed an 18-member committee, headed by DU pro-vice-chancellor (academic) professor Nasreen Ahmad, to formulate guidelines for conducting evening courses at the university.
The committee members include Pro-VC (administration) Prof Muhammad Samad, treasurer Prof Kamal Uddin, deans of most 13 faculties, and two directors of Institute of Business Administration and Institute of Education and Research.
The committee was asked to submit the rules within these five weeks.
Talking to newsmen following the meeting, DU VC M Akhtaruzzaman said, “Around 60 academic council members expressed their judgment about evening courses. Some members tried to support the existing evening courses although some opposed those.”
“After getting guidelines from the committee, those will be located prior to the academic council meeting maintaining due process. Then, it’ll be decided whether the evening courses will be re-opened or not according to the need of the country and the university’s capacity,” the VC added.
