Abu Sayeed, a student of Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur, was killed by police gunfire on July 16 during an anti-discrimination student movement. To honor his memory, the university has decided to observe ‘Shaheed Abu Sayeed Day’ annually on that date, suspending classes and exams while keeping administrative functions operational. This decision was made in the university’s 110th syndicate meeting. The Vice-Chancellor also confirmed the implementation of a directive from the Ministry of Education and the UGC to waive tuition fees for injured students.
