Darul Ihsan University Students can Seek Compensation

Students can seek compensation

No decision has been taken about the future of its students yet, though the government shut down all activities of Darul Ihsan University on July 26, 2016 as per a High Court order.

In such a situation, students are generally transferred to other universities, said University Grants Commission (UGC) sources. However, only the education ministry can take decision. The students are obviously worried and they are wondering whether they will get their certificates, and even if they do, will they be valid and get them jobs.

After DCs conference at the Secretariat, education minister Nurul Islam Nahid said that the students could seek a compensation of Tk. 5 lakh each from the university authorities.

"Through opening many illegal branches, Darul Ihsan ran a business of certificates in exchange for money. We closed it, but they continued their activities through obtaining stay order from the court. The HC has now ordered its shutdown and action against the authorities", he said.

Account BenefitIf a student has to stop his studies midway, he/she can seek Tk. 5 lakh as compensation. The government will assist the student in getting the compensation, he added.

A UGC investigation team found several irregularities, including selling of certificates, at the university in 2006 and recommended that it be shut down. When the government ordered its closure, the university authorities filed a writ petition and continued its activities following the court's order. As the court has now ordered to shut down the university, the education ministry moved to close it immediately, said UGC chairman Professor Abdul Mannan.
