Five assistant proctors of Dhaka University (DU) have resigned. They submitted their resignation letters on Thursday (November 12) night. Additionally, a sixth assistant proctor is also expected to resign, according to confirmed reports.

Reason for Resignation

A report from Bangladesh Pratidin confirmed the resignation of the five assistant proctors. Meanwhile, Business Standard reported that the six assistant proctors decided to resign after "being asked to step down." Of them, five have already submitted their resignation letters, while the sixth is expected to do so by the end of Thursday.

Context and Background

Neither report provided specific details regarding the immediate cause or any particular incident leading to the resignations. However, the Business Standard report indicated that the decision came following a request from the administration. It remains unconfirmed whether this step is linked to any internal administrative directive or decision within the university.

Next Steps

No official statement has yet been issued by the university administration regarding the acceptance of the resignations or the list of the resigned assistant proctors. It is also unclear what the next course of action will be from the Proctor's Office or the university administration. As of the time of writing this report, no comments were available from the DU Proctor or the Vice-Chancellor regarding the matter.
