Teachers belonging to the White panel-backed by BNP-Jamaat, in a statement yesterday, censured the contention of the Blue panel teachers-backed by Awami League and left leaning organisations that the result of the recently held Dhaka University Dean election was predisposed.

The allegation of the Blue panel teachers that the

university authority had influenced the Dean election is a baseless claim, said the teachers of White panel adding that five among the elected deans were elected several times from the same panel before.

The Blue panel teachers brought the allegation at a press conference on August 25 after their defeat in the Dean election.

This year, the white panel candidates won in eight faculties, while the Blue panel bagged two.

The White panel teachers think the allegation shows an utter disrespect to the general teachers` verdict.

The teachers also raised a question how a teacher from the Blue panel won in the election if the authority had influenced the result.

Convener of White panel Prof Sadrul Amin, also newly elected Dean of Arts Faculty, Prof Sirajul Islam and Prof Aminur Rahman Majumder signed the statement.
