Retirement age of DU staff
Retirement age in Dhaka University is 65 years for teachers. University teachers require this upper age limit as they had engaged themselves in doing MS, M Phil, Phd etc. at the beginning of their careers. The retirement age of officers and employees, on the other hand, is 60 years which is three years more than government servants'. However, the officers and employees now demand that their retirement age be raised to 65.
I don't think the demand is based on sound logic.
