A section of teachers, officials, and staff at Rajshahi University continued their third consecutive day of complete shutdown, demanding punishment for students who assaulted a teacher and reinstatement of the ‘offspring quota.’

All classes, exams, and administrative activities remain suspended. Protesters have demanded the expulsion of the involved students and legal action against them. They also called for restoring quota privileges for staff children.

Meanwhile, Jamaat-affiliated teachers withdrew from the shutdown yesterday. Amid the unrest and mounting pressure from different groups, the university election commission has decided to postpone the long-awaited RUCSU polls.
