to them. They also said they would think of returning to classes only after a discussion with Nahid.
The Buet authorities, meanwhile, withdrew the two cases filed with Shahbagh Police Station on orders of VC Prof Nazrul Islam.
On April 7, Buet Teachers' Association launched an agitation, including work abstention, bringing 16 allegations of corruption against the VC and pro-VC. Students and staff of the university joined the agitation from mid-July.
Teachers said they would soon resume academic activities since the minister had assured them of taking necessary steps regarding the VC's removal and against other allegations of irregularities.
Earlier, the teachers sat with the agitating students around 10:00am yesterday to give them the details of the discussion held between them and the education minister on Monday.
They tried to convince the students at the two-hourlong meeting but the students said they still felt insecure as they could be in trouble in future if the VC remained in place.
"We are not satisfied with the assurance and want removal of the VC too," Sudipta Saha, a student of the mechanical engineering department, told The Daily Star, emerging from the meeting.
The teachers even got divided on the latest development, sources at the meeting said.
The students and the teachers then sat separately to discuss the overall situation.
Later around 3:30pm, the students held a press conference at Buet central auditorium to inform the media about their stance. Two teachers — Prof Humayun Kabir and Prof Ataur Rahman — were present there.
"Our one and only demand is removal of the VC and the pro-VC," said
Merina Jahan, a student of the chemical engineering department, reading out a written statement.
The presence of those (referring to the VC and pro-VC), who had implicated students in false cases and had not been moved after seeing students shedding blood (in protest), on the campus was not safe for them, she said, urging the VC to step down.
"We believe the education minister, being our guardian, will give us the opportunity to express our thoughts before him," she said, adding they have been requesting Nahid to realise the whole situation before making a decision.
Prof Humayun Kabir said the demand of the entire Buet family was resignation or removal of the VC and the pro-VC.
The discussion was going on across the table, he said, "we want a fair end of the crisis." Normalcy would not be restored at the institution until removal of the vice chancellor, he added.
Asked about the assurance the teachers' association had received from the minister, he said they had accepted the proposal but the students, who appreciated the partial solution, were waiting to see a completesolution.
After the four-hour-long teachers' association meeting, Prof Mujibur Rahman, president of the Buet teach-ers' association, said, "Teachers reiterated their no confidence in the vice-chancellor and it is difficult to work with a person in whom people have no confidence", urging the government to take an immediate step regarding VC's removal.
Asked about the students, he said he hoped that the students would be convinced if the education minister sat with them.
Meanwhile, a section of Dhaka University teachers at a human chain on the campus urged the government to remove the Buet VC and his deputy soon to resolve the
