For sexual harassment a D U teacher fired 

Dhaka University authorities today permanently fired ex-chairman of Theater and Performance Studies Department of Dhaka University Prof Saiful Islam as the university syndicate found his involvement with sexually abusing a female student of his department.

"The university syndicate in a meeting tonight decided to permanently sack Prof Saiful Islam as the allegations of sexual harassment against him were proved to the university probe-body," Vice-Chancellor Professor AAMS Arefin Siddique, who chaired the syndicate meeting, told BSS over mobile phone.

On September 14, 2014 a female student of the department submitted a written allegation against the teacher that he sexually assaulted her on the previous day after calling to his residence. Two days later Prof Saiful was temporarily suspended.
