University and Politics
It is a matter of opinion whether to post in the BAPTC&B website the attached reply in response to a letter captioned, "University and Politics" published in the Daily Star (DS) in "the letters to the Editor" section, since the subject matter does not strictly fall within the purview of the objectives of the Association. However, the development and nurturing of science and technology in the country depends upon revival of conducive academic atmosphere in universities and its strict adherence in letter and spirit, when democracy returns. It is in this backdrop that the hyper-linked reply has been sent to DS for publication with the hope that the current regime will carefully consider the suggestions contained therein and take steps to keep the standard of BD Universities at par with those of the region. If you agree with the opinion in principle, pl endorse it with additional points. Here is the letter.
