Earlier on August 10, the then Dhaka University vice-chancellor Professor ASM Maksud Kamal resigned from his post.
At least 22 public university vice-chancellors stepped down after the ouster of the Sheikh Hasina-led government on August 5 amid a mass uprising led by students.
The resignations of the vice-chancellors and other senior officials began as students at different universities gave them ultimatums to do so on allegations of aiding the then ruling Awami League and the police to prevent students from continuing their protests.
Education adviser to the interim government Wahiduddin Mahmud said on August 21 that senior officials in 45 public universities out of total 55 ones had disappeared following the overthrow of the Hasina regime.
