BUET classes resume on Saturday ending a five-month stalemate at the prestigious Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.
\nThe decision to resume class room teaching was announced on Saturday by vice chancellor SM Nazrul Islam and BUET Teachers Association.
\nAcademic activities were disrupted at BUET since April 7 as the teachers and students were rallying on
\nthe demand of removal of vice-chancellor SM Nazrul Islam and pro-vice-chancellor Habibur Rahman.
\nFollowing an executive committee meeting the teachers\u2019 association general secretary Ashraful Islam told New Age that the teachers would take classes and resume other
\nacademic activities on Saturday.
\nHe said that after the government removed the Pro VC and withdrew the cases against the teachers and the students the teachers expected that it would change the BUET
\nadministration in a day or two.
\nThe government took the actions following the assurance education minister Nurul Islam Nahid gave to BUET teachers and students at separate meeting on September 3 and
\n5.
\nNahid also assured the teachers and the students that a decision regarding removal of the VC would be taken later.
\nAshraf said that the teachers were firm on their stand for the removal of the VC.
\n\u2018We very much expect that that the government would take a decision in this regard without wasting time.\u2019
\nMeanwhile, vice chancellor Nazrul Islam told New Age that BUET deans\u2019 committee had prepared a new academic calendar to restart classes on Saturday.
\nAll the five deans attended the meeting.
\nBUET students said they would now go back to their classes.
\nThe BUET stalemate began on April 7 when the teachers\u2019 sit-ins and class boycott started bringing 16 allegations against the VC and the Pro VC. The students and
\nuniversity officials joined the agitations in mid-July.
\nThe protesters began rallying on July 11 demanding removal of the VC and the Pro VC after the VC closed BUET on the night of July 10.
\nThe VC\u2019s decision to shut down BUET drew immediate strong protests with all the five deans and the 17 heads of department and directors of three institutes of the
\nuniversity submitting their resignations on July 11.<\/p>\n
