Party-based politics has been banned for teachers, officials and employees at Jatiya Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam University. On Sunday (9th February 2025), with the approval of Vice-Chancellor Dr. Jahangir Alam, in a notification signed by Acting Registrar Professor Dr. Md. Mizanur Rahman, teachers, officials and employees are prohibited from being members of political organizations as per Section 43 (4) of the Jatiya Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam University Act, 2006. As per the decision of the 87th Syndicate Meeting of the University held on 16.01.2025, all concerned have been asked to refrain from party-based politics in accordance with the said law.
After the August 5th Revolution, university students demanded a ban on politics for teachers, officials, and employees. And some teachers and officials, who did not want to be named, claimed that many took advantage of party power, many were deprived despite their qualifications because of their different ideologies. Many were denied promotions, and people from the ruling party were appointed to important positions.
In light of this, the 87th Syndicate meeting of the university banned partisan politics among teachers, officers, and employees.
