88 appointed against 53 positions in Islamic University
A syndicate meeting of Islamic University, Kushtia, yesterday finalised appointments of 88 people in different wings of the university including administration against a vacation of 53 positions.
This news surprised many, as number of people appointed is more than the need of the university.
University sources said, of the 88 appointed, 48 were vice-chancellor's candidates, 20 were referred by Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal and 10 by Islami Chhatra Shibir.

Concerned quarters believe that already with a deficient budget, the large-scale appointment beyond necessity will only worsen the financial crisis of the university.
