They teachers said that the policy will pose threat to the autonomy of public universities.
They came up with the protest at a human chain in front of the Raju memorial sculpture of the campus.
Under the banner - 'Bangladesh University Teachers’ Forum' around 300 teachers from different public universities across the country participated in the human chain.
Professor Kamrul Hassan Mamun of DU and convener of Forum said "Those who want to impose an uniform policy have no idea about the university rules and regulations. All the universities have separate syndicate bodies like parliament of a country. All decision are made from the syndicate meeting.”
"We hope the UGC step back from their proposed policy and take practical steps regarding the issue" he added.
