Dhaka University’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof Niaz Ahmed Khan, has made public his intention to step down from his position. In a press conference held at the Abdul Motin Chowdhury Virtual Classroom at DU, Prof Khan stated that he had assumed the role during a critical period to ensure the smooth running of the university’s academic and administrative functions without any disruptions.
Emphasizing the need to stabilize the campus and prevent any collapse in teaching, examinations, and governance, Prof Khan highlighted the successful navigation through the challenging phase. Despite his decision to resign, he expressed a willingness to stay on until the next government transition to avoid any operational disturbances due to a sudden leadership vacuum.
The Vice-Chancellor underscored the importance of maintaining leadership continuity for effective management of admissions, examinations, budget decisions, and administrative coordination at the prestigious public university. His resignation announcement coincides with ongoing discussions on administrative restructuring in public universities following recent political and institutional transformations.
Officials from the university, present during the briefing, assured that details regarding the resignation process and the subsequent transition would be officially communicated in due course.
