Chittagong University authorities yesterday sacked an associate professor of the Arabic Department on charges of resorting to forgery during submitting articles for promotion.
The decision was made at the 492th Syndicate meeting with Professor Anwarul Azim Arif, vice-chancellor of the university, in the chair.
Imran Hossain, dean of Arts and Humanities Faculty and also a Syndicate member, said Dr SM Rafiqul Alam had presented a forged publication to the university authorities during his promotion.
The Syndicate made the decision as it had found the teacher guilty of committing the forgery, Imran Hossain said.
Rafiqul had also been involved with some other irregularities at the departmental planning committee.
