HC directive sought to end Buet crisis

Nahid meets UGC today

Staff Correspondent
A Supreme Court lawyer yesterday filed a writ petition with the High Court seeking its directives on the authorities concerned for the resumption of Buet classes within 24 hours.
Advocate Younus Ali Akond, who filed the petition, also sought the HC's directives to authorities to stop unrest, agitation and strike on the campus of Bangladesh University of Engineering and FROM PAGE 1
Technology (Buet).
Meanwhile, Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid sits today with the senior officials of his ministry and University Grants Commission (UGC) to discuss the ongoing crisis at the university.
Education Secretary Kamal Abdul Naser Chowdhury, UGC Chairman Prof AK Azad Chowdhury and State Minister for Science and Technology Yeafesh Osman, among others, will attend the meeting.
Sources in the education ministry said the meeting would discuss the demands and allegations of the Buet Teachers' Association and formation of a judicial enquiry commission to probe the allegations.
The teachers' association which is spearheading the movement for the removal of the vice-chancellor and his deputy, will also hold its general meeting today to review the overall situation.
"We will discuss the overall situation including today's [yesterday'sl writ petition at our meeting," Prof Mujibur Rahman, the association chief, told The Daily Star yesterday.
He said they will continue their two-hour long sit-in today.
"We still believe that the government will take a logical decision soon. We hope the government would consider the teachers' demand as the solution to the crisis is not possible keeping the VG and Pro-VG in position," Prof Mujibur added.
Earlier on July 21, the agitating teachers postponed their en masse resignation programme to "facilitate" government efforts in resolving the ongoing crisis at the university.
The anti-VC agitation began on July 11 after the authorities shut the institution for 44 days in advance for Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr. The same day, the heads of all faculties, institutes and departments of Buet announced resignation.
In yesterday's petition, advocate Younus Ali Akond said the 44-day closure from July 11 in the name of summer vacation has obstructed the students' study and examination procedures and will subsequently create session jam.
He also prayed to the court to direct the Buet authorities to start the admission process for the fresh students as the results of the Higher Secondary Certificate exams have already been published.
Younus Ali told The Daily Star that the HC bench of Justice Naima Haider and Justice Muhammad Khurshid Alam Sarkar will hear the petition today.
Eight government high-ups including education secretary, Buet VC, Pro-VC, Buet teachers' association president and general secre-tary have been made
