The Rajshahi University (RU) administration has suspended admission activities under the reinstated “pet quota” following days of student protests.

In an official statement posted on the university’s Facebook page, authorities announced an emergency syndicate meeting scheduled for Sunday to review the overall situation.

Earlier, students from 17 residential halls staged a mass protest, surrounding the Vice Chancellor’s residence late at night and issuing an ultimatum to revoke the quota by midnight.

Meanwhile, RU teachers, officers, and staff declared a full-day work stoppage for Sunday after alleging that pro-quota protesters harassed university officials, including the Pro-Vice Chancellor, following a senate meeting.
