Stalemate halts admission in JU

Kamran Siddiqui, President, Jahangirnagar University Journalists' Association

Jahangirnagar University has long been facing a deep crisis over the resignation of the VC. A large section of teachers have been protesting demanding the VC's resignation for the last few months. The upcoming admission test for the session 2013-14, due to be held in November, is now uncertain due to the teachers' movement. The central admission test conduct committee could not take any decision about admission tests in the last five meetings due to the absence of most of the deans and chairmen. The applicants are going to suffer advance session jam before taking admission. The confrontational situation between the VC and the agitating teachers has brought the academic activities to a halt. We, the JU family, want a permanent solution to the ongoing crisis.
