Anwarullah Chowdhury is a Bangladeshi academic. He served as the 24th Vice-chancellor of the University of Dhaka. He was the ambassador Bangladesh to Bahrain.[1]
Education and career
Chowdhury earned his master's degree in Sociology from the University of Dhaka and Ph.D. from Delhi School of Economics.[1]
Chowdhury was a member of University Grants Commission, a visiting professor of Minnesota State University, a visiting fellow of University of Sussex and dean of the faculty of Social Science. He is the founder chairman of Anthropology Department of the University of Dhaka.[1]
Chowdhury was appointed the vice-chancellor of Green University of Bangladesh in February 2008 and Bangladesh Islami University in April 2014.[1][2]
Controversy
On 1 August 2002, Chowdhury, along with proctor Nazrul Islam, resigned from the vice-chancellor position of the University of Dhaka following an assault into Shamsunnahar Hall, a female hall, by male police on July 23. The female students had been protesting the illegal stay of political activists in the university dormitories.[3][4] Chowdhury faced criticism at that time for failing to take measures against the police assault.[5]
In August 2015, a trust fund, worth of 600,000 Taka, named "Professor DR Anwarullah Chowdhury Trust Fund" was established at Anthropology Department of the University of Dhaka.[6] The trust fund was revoked within a month, following student protests against it.[7]
In February 2018, Chowdhury was appointed as a part-time teacher of the anthropology department. But he was relieved from the duty within a week.[8]
