Dhaka University authorities have sought a list of teachers who did not hold classes yesterday (10 November), the day of a strike called by the banned Chhatra League.
The university has asked the respective deans and institute directors to submit the names of teachers who missed classes without prior permission by 4pm today.
According to the notice, the university authorities received information that some teachers from several departments and institutes did not hold classes yesterday. The notice requested the respective deans and institute directors to send the list of teachers who were absent without prior approval to the registrar within the stipulated deadline.
Speaking to The Business Standard, DU Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Administration) Professor Mohammad Almojadid Alfe Sani said the university is initially seeking data on the number of teachers who remained absent in what he described as an unusual situation.
“From the perspective of accountability, we want to know how regularly university teachers attend their classes,” he said.
He said teachers might have personal problems or other responsibilities, but the university first needs to establish whether the concerned department chairpersons or institute directors were aware of those circumstances. “That is why we are collecting the data,” he added.
