CU students besiege department chairman
Students of oriental languages (Pali and Sanskrit) at Chittagong University (CU) yesterday staged a sit-in and confined the department chairman for one and half an hour to his office demanding two separate departments.
The agitating students said that they want two new departments as their admission process, syllabuses and even examination committees are different.
“For this we gave a memorandum to the administration several times,”said a student.
At the time of demonstration at around 11:30am some students vandalised the windows of the department.
The proctorial body went to the department and brought the agitating students under control and rescued the chairman.
Meanwhile, a teacher said, students should understand that this is a long term process to make separate departments. What the students did today is not the proper behavior, he added.
