Chancellor of BRU and president Md Abdul Hamid has appointed Hasibur Rashid as the new vice-chancellor. The appointment will be effective from 14 June.

The appointment letter says the new vice-chancellor, as the chief executive officer of the university, will be staying at the university compound round the clock.

A group of BRU teachers waged movements protesting against irregularities including long-time absence of Nazmul Ahsan Kalimullah at the university compound.

The University Grants Commission formed two probe bodies to investigate irregularities by vice-chancellor Nazmul Ahsan Kalimullah and some other officials of BRU.
