Academic activities partially resume at CUET amid ongoing protests

Academic activities have partially resumed at Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET) after a 37-day standstill. On Wednesday, classes for the Department of Urban and Regional Planning commenced, though student attendance remained low.

While some classes have restarted, students have declared that their protests will continue. They are demanding the reinstatement of former Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Abu Sadat Mohammad Sayem, following the appointment of a new Vice-Chancellor on September 21.

A six-member delegation from the University Grants Commission (UGC) has met with teachers and students to address the ongoing crisis, with further meetings scheduled for university staff.
