In their statement, the White Panel teachers said what the Blue Panel teachers in a press briefing on Monday told about the decisions of Sunday's general meeting was not true.

“The Blue Panel teachers also created pressure for pursuing various programmes like admission test abstention, resignation of acting deans, sit-in programme.
wearing black-badges and selfimprisonment to free the detainees," said the statement.
“So for the sake of congenial academic atmosphere and considering the future of students, the acting president did not give her consent to those proposals," it added.

Sources said the Duta is now facing a new crisis within itself over the release of detained teachers and students.
Differences between the two factions became wider following the general meeting which ended abruptly without any decision about the actions that could be taken to free the detainees.
In the general meeting, the teachers were virtually divided into two groups just before it was coming to an end as the acting president and the acting general secretary, both belonging to White Panel, left the meeting amid protest from the teachers.
Before leaving the meeting Prof
Tazmeri said the existing executive committee would not take any decision regarding the release of the detainees.
Decisions in this regard would be taken by the next executive committee to be elected on January 15, she added.

They also decided to take some programmes to free the detained teachers and students after the university's academic activities resume on January 8.
