No one can gain through misleading me: IU VC

Vice-Chancellor of Islamic University (IU) Prof Dr AKM Motinur Rahman has said that it is not possible to fulfill personal or group interests by misleading him.

“I want to move forward with everyone,” he said.

Motinur added, “I have served this university for 31 years, including as proctor during the 1/11 period. Criticism is natural when work begins, but what matters is whether it benefits students and the university.”

“It is not entirely baseless that a syndicate often forms around the university administration, especially centring on the vice-chancellor. While consultation is necessary for a vice-chancellor, my true syndicate is the university law and regulations,” he added.

The VC made the remarks on Saturday during an exchange meeting with journalists working at the university held at the conference room of the administrative building.
