Buet teachers postpone en masse resignation until Jul 30
Dhaka, July 21 (UNB) - The agitating teachers of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet) on Saturday postponed until July 30 their decision to reign en masse.
Buet Teachers’ Association took the decision at a meeting following request by president of Buet Alumni Association Prof Jamilur Reza Chowdhury to help the government resolve the ongoing deadlock at the university.
“We’ll sit on July 30 again and decide our en masse resignation if our demand is not met within the deadline,” said Buet Teachers’ Association President Prof Mujibur Rahman.
He also said their two-hour sit-in programme every day demanding removal of the vice-chancellor and pro-VC will continue.
On July 16, the agitating Buet teachers threatened to resign en masse on July 22 if their demand for the removal of the VC and pro-VC is not met by the time.
Meanwhile, teachers, students and employees of Buet resumed their sit-in in front of the council building of the university on Saturday morning after a two-day break.
They started the sit-in at 11 am that ended at 1 pm on the campus.
General secretary of Buet Teachers’ Association Prof Ashraful Islam told UNB on Saturday that they would continue their demonstration until the removal of VC Nazrul Islam and Pro-VC Habibur Rahman.
On July 16, Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid held a meeting with the former VC, deans and department heads to take their opinions to break the deadlock at the university.
However, the teachers threatened to resign en masse on the day, just 40 minutes after the meeting, as no solution came from the meeting.
A day after the Education Minister’s remark that the agitating teachers’ threat of en masse resignation was hindering solution, teachers of Buet on Wednesday postponed their agitation programme for two days.
The Buet teachers, students and employees have been on the movement since July 11 to press for their 16-point demand, including the removal of its VC and Pro-VC.
