PSTU students begin indefinite class boycott
Our Correspondent, Patuakhali
Over 500 students of the agriculture faculty of Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU) are boycotting their classes for an indefinite period from Saturday.They were demanding of the authorities to arrange tour to various Saarc countries . The agitating students earlier submitted a memorandum to the vice-chancellor (VC) on April 30. On receipt of the memo, the VC formed a 5-member committee headed by Dean of Agriculture Faculty Sultan Ahmed. The committee submitted its report to the VC on Friday. The report was also in favour of the students. But the VC refused to accept the report. Citing the example of Haji Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur, the students justified their demand. In absence of VC Dr Prof Wahid-uz-Zaman, his personal secretary said to this correspondent, 'We are trying to fulfill the students’ demand but it all depends on the decision of the university's academic council'.
