Students at Barisal University have locked the administrative building, demanding the removal of Vice Chancellor Dr. Suchita Sharmin. The protest followed a 30-minute demonstration on the university’s ground floor. The students accused the VC of reinstating authoritarian faculty members, failing to implement 22 student demands, and filing cases against protesting students. The protest, ongoing for over 15 days, has now evolved into a single-point demand for her removal. Students have threatened to shut down the entire southern region if their demands are not met. Allegations also include the VC's inaction against a ruling party student leader accused of abuse and lack of support for a cancer-stricken student who later passed away.
