I acted on DUTA advice, says VC

By DU Correspondent
Vice Chancellor of Dhaka University Prof Lmaiuddin Ahmed yesterday said the president, the general secre-tary and some other leaders of the Dhaka University Teachers Association DUTA| had advised him to allow 20 students to be admitted under an administrative order on
humanitarian ground
"Accordingly I discussed the matter with the depart mental chairmen and sent ’ them letters on lune 20 in this regard the Vice Chancellor told a press conference.
Prof Emaiuddin convened the press conference to ex plain his position following criticism of his order to admit the 20 students who did not appear at the admission test as they attended a function arranged by the Education Ministry on the same day.
The VC said the Education Secretary had contacted him two days before the function to know whether the admis sion test could he shifted The VC expressed his inability to do so and conveyed the mat ter to the Dean of the Com merce Faculty
He said the issue was placed at a meeting of the admission committee on April 24 after those students had applied tor admission under special consideration. The meeting resolved that the VC would decide about their ad mission in consultation with the Dean of the Commerce faculty and departmental chairmen, he said
After discussing the matter with them, the VC decided to hold a special test for their admission and consequently the Dean fixed lune 9 to hold the test.
The VC said the DUTA executive committee at a meeting on |une 6 had resolved that such an admission test was contrary to the norms and practices followed by the university and would tarnish the image of the insti tution. This decision was conveyed to the VC.
But the president, the general secretan and some other executive committee members of the DUTA, Prof Ema luddin said, had advised him on June 7 to admit them by an executive order.
"All matters regarding admission are decided in the meetings of the academic council and the admission committee," the VC said, "the DUTA has no role to play in this regard."
He said the decision was taken on humanitarian ground and it is not desirable that those meritorious students who were accorded a reception at the national level should lose one year from their academic life.
Meanwhile, the DUTA at an emergency general meeting yesterday said admission un der an executive order was totally undesirable. The DUTA will not accept any such admission, the meeting said.
