The Ministry of Education has issued notifications removing Vice-Chancellor Prof Muhammad Masud and Pro-Vice-Chancellor Prof Sheikh Shariful Alam of Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (KUET) from their posts following student protests.

The ministry issued two separate notifications in this regard on Friday (April 25).

The two officials will now return to their respective academic departments, according to the notifications.

The release said a search committee would soon be formed to appoint new officials.

In the interim, a senior professor would be temporarily assigned to discharge the duties of the vice-chancellor.

Earlier on April 23, KUET vice-chancellor and pro-vice-chancellor resigned from their posts in the face of strong movement by students.
