JU functions partially

Staff Correspondent
Academic activities at Jahangirnagar University resumed partially yesterday after five days of disruption as the teachers loyal to the vice chancellor conducted classes at different departments.
Attendance in classes was low yesterday as many students stayed out of the campus for fear of troubles.
The group of teachers opposing the VC continued boycotting classes for the second consecutive day to press their demands, including the removal of JU Proctor ProfArzu Miah.
JU teachers split into two — one opposing the VC and the other backing him — over the demands following the death of Zubair Ahmed, student of English department, at the hands of Bangladesh Chhatra League activists on January9.
Angry students and the teachers opposing the VC demonstrated on the campus to protest the killing. They demanded the proctor's removal saying he failed to ensure security on the campus.
The anti-VC teachers started boycotting classes on January 14 and gave an ultimatum to the administration for removing the proctor by 12:00noon today.
Several teachers loyal to the group said they would not conduct any classes until their demands are met.
“We will hold a rally on the campus and also stage a sit-in in front of the vice chancellor's office if our demands are not met
within the deadline,” said Dr Sharif Uddin, general secretary of Jahangirnagar University Teachers' Association.
Agitating students said they would attend classes but also continue their dem-onstration demanding punishment to Jubair's killers, and the removal of the proctor.
They brought out a torch procession on the campus yesterday to press home their demands.
The anti-VC teachers under the banner of “Shikkhak Samaj” refrained from staging demonstrations yesterday for Akheri Munajat, the concluding part of the first phase of Biswaljtema.
Meanwhile, the English Department placed a three-point demand before the administration. The demands include permanent expulsion of the students accused of Zubair murder, transfer of the case to a speedy trial court, and strict measures to avoid the recurrence of such incidents and ensure congenial atmosphere on the campus.
