Assistant Professor Shehrin Amin Bhuiya (Monami) of the Department of Public Administration at University of Dhaka has stepped down from her role as Assistant Proctor of the university. According to university sources, she officially submitted her resignation letter on Monday morning.

The matter was confirmed by the university’s Acting Proctor, Professor Md. Israfil Prang (Israfil Ratan). He said that Shehrin Amin Bhuiya informed him over the phone in the morning about submitting her resignation letter. However, as he was attending a meeting at the time, he could not provide detailed information regarding the reason behind the resignation.

Earlier, in a post shared on her verified Facebook page, Shehrin Amin Bhuiya stated that she had not initially planned to take on any administrative responsibility at the beginning of her teaching career. However, on August 28, 2024, she accepted the position of Assistant Proctor at the request of then-Proctor Professor Saifuddin Ahmed. She described the opportunity to serve in such an important role as a young teacher as an honor.

In the post, she further wrote that over the past two years, she learned valuable lessons from Professor Saifuddin Ahmed regarding patience, crisis management, and carrying out responsibilities while maintaining self-respect. She also mentioned several experiences from recent times.

Notably, just a day earlier on Sunday, Professor Saifuddin Ahmed also resigned from his position as Proctor of University of Dhaka. Following his resignation, Associate Professor Md. Israfil Prang of the Department of Graphic Design under the Faculty of Fine Arts was appointed as the Acting Proctor. Professor Saifuddin Ahmed cited personal reasons for stepping down.

After the student-public movement, Professor Saifuddin Ahmed had assumed the role of Proctor of University of Dhaka on August 28, 2024.
