Sexual Harassment

Student bodies reject JU decision

DU Correspondent
Different student organisations yesterday rejected the Jahangirnagar University (JU) decision releasing Prof Sanwar Hossain Sunny of charges of sexual allegation brought against him.
Pragatisheel Chhatra Jote (PCD, an alliance of left-leaning student organisations, at a demonstration on Dhaka University (DU) campus said the JU authorities released Prof Sunny of the charges in a planned way. They demanded immediate removal of Prof Sunny and formation of an anti-sexual complain cell at the university.
To press home their demand, PCJ brought out a protest procession and held a rally on the DU campus.
A group of female students of Drama and Dramatics department of JU brought allegation of sexual harassment against Prof Sunny, chairman of the department
In response to the allegation, the university authorities formed several fact-finding committees and finally the JU syndicate released him from the charges on Saturday, as per the recommendations made by the probe bodies.
Bangladesh Chhatra Federation (BCF), a left-leaning student
organisation, also staged a demonstration on DU campus protesting the syndicate decision.
Meanwhile, students under the banner of 'Jahangirnagar against Harassment' yesterday declared that they would continue their movement demanding removal of Prof Sunny.
They will hold a solidarity rally at the road island of Teachers Students Centre (TSC) at 3:00pm, says a press release.
Terming the syndicate decision motivated, they posed the question, “If he was proven guilty in primary investigation, how can the syndicate find him blameless?”
Besides, the teacher was supposed to be suspended during the period of investigation, but the university granted him three months' leave, they alleged.
The syndicate failed to analyse the speech of the students, teachers, employees and officials who were interviewed, they added.
Samajtantrik Chhatra Front demanded re-investigation into the incidents, says a press release.
At a rally on Dhaka University campus yesterday they termed the syndicate's decision as 'biased' and 'ironic' and demanded formulating a policy to resist sexual harassment in the universities.
