The commission moved after noticing a job advertisement of the unauthorised university in newspapers. The advertisement sought a non-refundable bank draft of Tk 500 along with the application for each post. Professor Biswajit Chanda, member in charge of the UGC’s private university section, told bdnews24.com the commission was not made aware of any educational institution named Bangabandhu International University. The newspaper notice named ABM Sharifuzzaman Shah as the founder and acting vice-chancellor of the university. The UGC also noticed the news of the unauthorised university laying its foundation.
