Rajshahi University (RU) teachers and staff have enforced a “complete shutdown” of all academic activities following a violent scuffle between students and faculty over the controversial “offspring quota” policy.

Speakers at the protest alleged that a group of students carried out a planned and organized attack on teachers—an incident they described as unprecedented in the university’s history.

The demonstrators issued three demands:

Permanent expulsion of the identified attackers.

Cancellation of certificates for those whose studentship has ended.

Cancellation of candidacy for those contesting in the RUCSU elections.

They vowed to continue the movement until visible punishment is delivered.
