Dhaka University’s white panel teachers will boycott the special senate session for electing a three-member panel to appoint its new vice-chancellor scheduled for tomorrow. Prof Akhter Hossain Khan, convener of the pro-BNP-Jamaat backed panel, makes the announcement in a press conference.

Ruling Awami League-backed ‘Blue panel’ sweeps the senate elections of Dhaka University. Aspirants from the ‘Blue panel’ win 33 seats of teachers’ representatives out of 35 posts while BNP-backed ‘White panel’ bags only two posts.

Pro-Awami League Blue Panel today swept the Dhaka University Teachers' Association (Duta) election.
