AUB convocation postponed

Staff Correspondent
The convocation of Asian University of Bangladesh (AUB) was postponed yesterday as students refused to > accept certificates from none other than President Zillur Rahman as its chancellor, says a press release.
The AUB authorities, however. said the fifth convocation of the university was postponed due to 'unavoidable reasons'.
Next date for the convocation will be notified through advertisements in the daily newspapers and university notice, the release added.
The students said the programme kicked off at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the city at around 12 30pm without the chancellor.
We were waiting to see the president and other government delegates. But. we found no one there." said a convocation attender, preferring anonymity.
As soon as the second speaker began his speech, the students started chanting slogans On behalf of them, an attender stood up and said they would not receive certificates in the absence of the president, said theattenders.
The slogans got louder
when Vice Chancellor (VC) Prof Abul Hassan M Sadeque came to answer to the students, they said, adding that at that time, the VC and other guests left the dais.
The students said convocation is one of the memorable incidents in any student's life, adding that they staged an angry protest, as it is meaningless to accept certificates from anyone else.
Neither the president and the education minister nor the University Grants Commission chairman came to convocation, they mentioned.
Talking to The Daily Star, the VC said the convocation was postponed as he received a letter from Bangabhaban on Sunday evening which stated that the president would not come to the convocation due to some reasons.
Sadeque said the letter also authorised him to carry on the convocation
"We are hoping that the president would come to the convocation as the previous chancellors had come to our last four convocations,” he said.
The VC further said that he talked to the students later and assured them that the president would come to the next convocation.
