While the university attracted many prominent backers in the United States, it has been hit over the last week by a series of articles in Bangladesh about the departure of senior leaders, delayed fund-raising and the failure to create an independent board, The Wall Street Journal reported. Jack R.

He said that the university is making strong progress, and asked for critics to stop sending anonymous letters to donors, discouraging gifts.
