It is very much relevant to state that, the phenomena of different harassment of the authority and the teachers towards the student are not uncommon. Due to get the uncontrolled opportunity of autonomy, the universities, which were founded to practice knowledge, turned to the safe heaven of the rude, autocratic, behavior of some dishonest teachers. Observing the conditions, it seems that the said vice-chancellors have been acting as the secretaries of the universities’ proctorial committee and their relatives, like brother-in-laws, father-in-laws, etc. It is mandatory to remove the autonomy of the universities in order to free the country from that malicious ghosts, called ‘teachers’, suited with gentlemen’s cloth and in their outlook very smart.

Though apparently they do not seem to be professional politician, they provide the concept of non-Islamic cultural, political, diplomatic behavior to the leaders and workers of different political parties and their outlets in this country, as they have gained these while they were abroad due to obtain a higher degree. Basically those teachers are intended to scholarship providing countries, we should inform the countrymen regarding the cruel and wild behavior of the different species, which contradict with the follower of Islamic ideology in this country. To protect the nation from their hostility and anger it is necessary to establish a strong ‘chain of command’ every level of the public universities.

The autonomy was given to the universities with the point of view ease the education and research. Thereafter the teachers have got a safe haven and by utilizing this scope many of them have been cheating, steeling the intellectual properties and cons pirating against the patriot politicians. They have turned the position of the ‘Head of the Department, into ‘Chairman of the Department”, and therefore ignore the system of responsibility, degrade the reasonable demands of the students, and give employment and certificates in lieu of money. Everybody of them think themselves as ‘autonomous body’. Then to keep their autocratic activities free from thorn, they squeezed the admission opportunity of the students coming from the family of businessmen, lawyers, highly educated guardians and government officers. Instead they grasp a large portion of seats by providing additional quotas to the children of the teachers, officers, other staffs and former students of the universities, local people and the less-educated and non-respondent farmers.

The teachers residing inside the universities have been conducting notorious diplomatic activities outside the campus and in other districts by garrulity and hiding their actual identity. To remain above the periphery of law, they have been motivating the law-makers in favor of them. At the same time they influence the law makers to create necessary laws against the government officers, lawyers and opposition politicians. Beside these, violating the rules and regulations, they have been influencing continuously different organizations of the Government to work in favor of them. So, the members of the academic council may be given the partial independence, in order to producing the syllabi of academic curricular. But, with this excuse, to continue the autonomy of the university will be the same thing as to retain the different organs of living body paralyzed.

If the different organs of a living body are cut-up from the nervous system while retaining the flow of the blood uninterrupted, the whole body seems to be alive for a while -this is true; but that discrete living organs, disobeying the command of the brain, vibrate randomly, whose resultant progress is zero. At a certain time that organs become motionless, and the active and excessive lively brain can not precede the body to the destination by trying vivaciously.

It is needed to review and analyze in detail the matter of giving the power to the teachers for directing police operation and trial to keep the law and order of the massive population of the universities whereas they are devoid of overall knowledge and any certificate of law. Law is regarded as one of the prior subjects among the subjects learned in the traditional general education. Law encourages every people to stay at the society and in the state in a peaceful, usual and regulated manner. A person ignorant in law but specialized in other subject is like a blind armed person, who is only eager to keep his own benefits. To see the persons in the proctor committee the much prevalent proverb is recalled to us: “Where the learned hesitate, the ignorant runs faster”.

It should be mentioned that the students coming to the universities for higher education, especially those who are not a son or daughter of any teacher, officer, or supporting staff, usually remain away from their guardians and relations. And the cadre force of the universities under the name of the ‘Proctor Committee” utilize this weak point of the students to the full extent. The university authorities is enjoying extra facilities, showing the excuse of autonomy, so that their proctor committees encounter themselves beyond any accountability and they conduct uncontrolled and autocratic trial upon a large part of the total population in parallel to the existing courts in the country. But the juries of the higher courts of the government are independent to conduct the trials (Constitution- 116A). So, in this existing situation, it is contradictory with the constitution of the Peoples’ Republic of Bangladesh to provide that power to the proctor committees of the universities. The university authorities often practice very prejudiced custom by including only the teachers one-sidedly in the proctor committees. (Any teacher of the Department of Law is rarely present there). Such decisions and activities bring a lot of misery to the students residing at the universities for studies and their guardians.

To control the police force appointed in the campuses to maintain their comprehensive security and calmness, to observe and inspect the legal condition and discipline, and to conduct sudden trial (which the members of the proctor committee often do) magistrates should be appointed and controlled by the government in the universities so that the justice is re-established by impartial consideration. I draw the attention of the conscious, educated citizens, experts, policy makers, higher court and the government itself.

To protect the repetitions of the injustice events taking place in the campuses, the proctor committees should be abolished; and an independent magistracy activity separated from the university administration should be initiated. Moreover the motionless and inactive disciplinary committees should be run again. To escape the students from the harassment in the newly appeared colonies with the name “university’, and to prevent the flourish and dispersal of the attacker and autocrats brought up here and working at different levels the respective ordinance must be refined.

Mainly the presence of the prevalent proctor committees, i.e. the enjoyment of autonomy by the universities, is the clear expression of parallel governance. So its sooner abolition should be confirmed. At the same time, in context of the laws and disciplinary matter within the universities, it is necessary to establish the control of the higher court of the country. It is because the learned, conscious, and civil society of the country should not expect any raise of undesired and competitor parallel evil power with the power equal to that of the court upon the well and scoured politics and the sovereignty of the country.
