Buet classes likely to start Saturday
Classes at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet) are likely to resume this Saturday after about two months.
The university's deans at a meeting yesterday chalked out a new academic calendar with classes resuming from Saturday.
The meeting was held at Buet Civil Engineering Building yesterday, a day after the government removed the university's Pro-VC Prof M Habibur Rahman following about five-month long agitation of teachers and students. Classes were held sporadically during the agitation.
Buet Teachers Association in another meeting yesterday decided to return to classes from Saturday.
However, Prof Ashraful Islam, the association's general secretary, told The Daily Star, “We have 'no confidence' on VC and our demand for his removal is still on.”
Teachers and students of Buet have been agitating since April 7 demanding removal of the university's VC and pro-VC raising 16 allegations of corruption and irregularities against them.
PLEA FOR WITHDRAWAL OF CASES
Police on Monday appealed to a Dhaka court to discharge 24 Buet students and teachers from two cases filed against them for vandalising offices of the VC and former pro-VC on September 2. MA Jalil, officer-in-charge of Shahbag Police Station, submitted a probe report to the court saying Buet authorities submitted applications requesting withdrawal of the two cases. The Buet authorities said the conflict between them and the protesters has been resolved. So, they would not proceed with the cases.
