According to a notice hung on the notice board, 15 out of total 16 teachers will neither take any class nor conduct any examination until the director Prof ASM Atiqur Rahman is removed.

The notice signed by the 15 teachers also said they will not take part in any academic activities protesting the administrative irregularities, corruption and autocratic behaviour of the director.

Earlier on June 3, the teachers issued an ultimatum to the university authorities demanding the removal of Prof Atiq.

They brought against him seven allegations including alleged corruptions, irregularities, autocratic outlook in conducting the institute and different financial anomalies.

Meanwhile, the DU syndicate has formed a six-member probe committee headed by Prof Tazmeri SA Islam to investigate the matter on June 19.

But the teachers at an urgent meeting yesterday decided not to cooperate with the probe committee as long as the director remains in the chair.

Quoting his other colleagues, a senior teacher told The Daily Star that they will not cooperate with the probe committee as the director will try to influence the investigation.

About the teachers' demand for his removal, Prof Atiq said until certain allegation is proved, a director cannot be removed and for that reason the authorities have formed the probe committee.

" Whatever is the decision of the probe committee, I'll comply with it," he said.

Prof Atiq also requested the teachers to hold the ongoing examinations for the sake of the students.
