KUET VC’s residence under lock and key, students demand resignation

Staff Reporter:

A section of students of Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (Kuet) locked the main entrance of the Vice-Chancellor’s (VC) residence on Friday night and vowed to continue their movement demanding his resignation.
They rejected the decision of the university’s 98th syndicate meeting on Friday night following the “Roktakto Kuet” exhibition.

The students also sent a letter to the Chief Adviser demanding the removal of Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Mohammad Masud and Pro-Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Shariful Islam.

They locked the residence of VC and refuted allegations that they had harassed the VC, calling it false propaganda.

There is no evidence, not even a single video, showing that the students physically assaulted Dr Masud they treated him with due respect, they claimed.

Students also alleged that despite syndicate decision banning student politics, such activities continued on campus, they alleged.

They urged the administration to implement this policy effectively.

Kuet Teachers’ Association President Prof Dr Saidur Rahman and General Secretary Prof Faruk Hossain, in a statement to the media expressed regret over the incidents.

They warned that forcing the VC and Pro-VC to resign would set a negative precedent.

On Tuesday afternoon, at least 50 students were injured in a series of clashes between ‘general students’ and the JCD activists over banning student politics on the campus.

The unrest at Kuet erupted on February 18 following a clash between some ‘general students’ and Chhatra Dal activists over the distribution of Chhatra Dal (BNP’s student wing) nomination forms.
The violence escalated as local outsiders reportedly joined in the attacks on students. Later an emergency syndicate meeting decided to suspend Kuet’s academic activities until February 28.
