Agitation continues for removal of JU teacher
JU Correspondent
Over 500 general students of Jahangirnagar University (JU) yesterday formed a human chain on the campus demanding immediate removal of the teacher of business administration department for his indecent behaviour with female students.To express solidarity with the ongoing movement enforced by the department students, hundreds of general students irrespective of party affiliations joined the huge human chain bringing the academic activities of their respective departments to a virtual stand still. Earlier, a rally was held at the foot of Amar Ekushey where the students vowed to go for tougher agitation if their demand is not met by Monday. The department students have been agitating since Thursday in protest against the teacher. They also staged a drama titled 'Ekti Tanvir' (One Tanvir) on the campus following the human chain. A memorandum containing all allegations against the teacher and the demand for his removal was submitted to the vice-chancellor along with over 3,000 signatures of general students. Meanwhile, a special syndicate meeting was held at the administrative building in the afternoon to decide on the fate of the teacher, and the agitating students staged a sit-in in front of the building until the meeting ended at 6:30pm. The syndicate formed a six-member probe body headed by the vice-chancellor to investigate the matter and submit its report in 15 days.
