Sources: 4. Developments: 2. The Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) launched the ‘DU Evaluation’ website, a platform designed to allow students to rate university teachers. By mid-September 2026, the initiative saw participation from approximately 6,489 students. The project triggered significant backlash from faculty members, who argued that teacher evaluations should be a formal administrative responsibility rather than a student union initiative. Faculty expressed concerns regarding a lack of confidentiality, noting that scores were circulated on social media, which led to the “mockery and trolling” of individual educators. In response to the controversy, DUCSU restricted the ability of users to view specific teacher scores on the website. Faculty members have maintained that while feedback is necessary for academic improvement, it must be conducted through formal channels to prevent damaging the relationship between students and educators. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-14: Dhaka University students' teacher evaluation initiative sparks faculty backlash The Dhaka University Central Students’ Union launched a website for students to evaluate teachers, sparking backlash from faculty over privacy concerns and jurisdictional authority. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/dhaka-university-students-teacher-evaluation-initiative-sparks-faculty-backlash ### 2026-09-07: Dhaka University students protest government job recruitment changes DUCSU leaders protested at Dhaka University against government plans to increase viva exam marks for grades 11–20 jobs, citing fears of corruption and nepotism. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/dhaka-university-students-protest-government-job-recruitment-changes --- Cite as: Dhaka University student teacher evaluation controversy.
