KUET has exposed systemic weakness in conflict resolution.
According to accounts by KUET students present at the campus that day, the situation escalated during a protest by the general students when they passed a group of JCD members and removed them from campus.
BUET has permanently expelled eight students due to their affiliation with Bangladesh Chhatra League.
The rules of Dhaka University stipulate that a student remains a regular one for eight years -- six years for graduation and two for post-graduation degrees.
A ban on campus politics seems to be an easy answer. But what does it mean and how will it work?
We asked around campuses of different universities and tried to find out why student politics failed, how it became a tool for violence, and what are the systems replacing them.
Most medical colleges have recently banned politics on campus, while others are in the process of doing so. However, the pressing question remains: can we truly safeguard the student community from such continued brutality?
Partisan politics of both students and teachers has proven to be damaging for academic excellence.
The focus of student politics should be issues relating to academia, said Professor Niaz Ahmed Khan, the new vice-chancellor of Dhaka University.
