The Vice-Chancellor of North South University (NSU) Professor Hafiz G A Siddiqi resigned from his post. He submitted his resignation letter to the government on August 22, 2012.
In his resignation letter he wrote, 'Please accept my voluntary retirement with effect from September 1, 2012. I have decided to resign due to old age and health ground.'
Sources informed that, he met education secretary and submitted the resignation letter to the secretary. Later he met education minister Nurul Islam Nahid on the same day.
Sources also informed that, the duration of Professor Hafiz was till December 1, 2012. But he resigned earlier facing inner conflict of NSU.
The trustees were divided over some major issues such as chairmanship of the trust, appointment of a pro-vice-chancellor and teachers and some other issues. Though new trustee board has been formed, students, their guardians and teachers of the University are still worried as conflicts among the university trustees are hampering academic activities.
