It also suggested taking legal action against him over irregularities and corruption.
The probe panel made the recommendations in its report submitted to the UGC Chairman Prof Dr Kazi Shahidullah on Sunday, said a UGC source wishing anonymity.
The report was later forwarded to the Education Ministry, he said, adding that the probe body found the allegations of irregularities and corruption against the BSMRSTU vice-chancellor to be true.
On September 24, the UGC formed the five-member probe body, headed by its member Dr Muhammad Alamgir, to look into the allegations brought against the BSMRSTU vice-chancellor. The other members of the committee are UGC members Prof Dr Dil Afroz Begum and Prof. Dr Mohammad Sazzad Hossain, Director (Public University Management Division) Kamal Hossain and its Deputy Director Mauli Azad.
The committee visited to the university on September 25-26 and talked to teachers, students and others concerned.
BSMRSTU students have been staging demonstrations over the last several days, demanding resignation of their VC.
Students alleged that there was no freedom of speech on the campus and that no-one could speak against the irregularities of the VC.
BSMRSTU’s decision to suspended Fatema-tuz-Zinia, also the university correspondent of the Daily Sun, on September 10 for her ‘objectionable’ writings on Facebook triggered the student protest.
It forced the university authorities to revoke the suspension order on September 18.
