Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, newly appointed vice-chancellor of Dhaka University of Engineering and Technology (DUET), arrived on campus in Gazipur on Thursday afternoon despite an ongoing complete shutdown. He was accompanied by leaders of the DUET Teachers’ Association, officers, and staff. After arriving, he received floral greetings at the vice-chancellor’s office and signed several university documents. Earlier in the day, Dr. Iqbal held a meeting with DUET teachers, officers, and staff at the Gazipur Metropolitan Police Commissioner’s office before entering the campus.
The government appointed Dr. Iqbal, a professor from Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, as DUET’s new vice-chancellor last Thursday. Following the appointment, a section of students rejected the decision, demanding that the vice-chancellor be selected from among DUET’s own teachers. When news spread that Dr. Iqbal would assume office on Sunday, students locked the campus gates and staged protests.
Clashes later broke out between students supporting and opposing the new vice-chancellor, leaving at least 15 people, including five police officers, injured. In response, the protesting students declared a complete shutdown of the campus.
