History
Global University Bangladesh was established in 2015. Three members of its board of trustees, including the chair, were relatives of then ruling party MP Jahangir Kabir Nanak.[2] As of late 2016, the university's top three administrative positions were still vacant.[3] Not until May 2019 was the vice chancellorship filled, by professor of philosophy Anisuzzaman.[4] At that time enrollment was approximately 1,300. Land had been purchased for a permanent campus, but it was still operating out of a rented six-story building.[2] As of February 2021, it has no permanent professors on the faculty.[5]
It is accredited by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and approved by the Ministry of Education, Government of Bangladesh.
