A committee has been formed to recommend a comprehensive framework for student politics at Dhaka University (DU).
The committee has been approved by DU Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr Niaz Ahmed Khan, the university's Public Relations Department said on Thursday.
The decision follows strong student reactions on 8 August regarding partisan politics at the residential hall level. In response, the university authorities held a discussion on 10 August with active student organisations on campus.
Building on that dialogue, the proposal to form a dedicated committee was put forward during the SMT (Statutory Meeting of Teachers) held on 11 August.
The aim of this committee is to engage with student bodies and stakeholders to foster a culture of democratic practice while ensuring a conducive academic environment.
The committee will draft recommendations outlining the constructive role of traditional student politics at Dhaka University.
The members of the committee are Professor Dr Mohammad Siddiqur Rahman Khan, Dean of the Faculty of Arts (Convener), Dr Abdullah-al-Mamun, Provost of Salimullah Muslim Hall, Professor Dr Md Nazmul Hossain, Provost of Freedom Fighter Ziaur Rahman Hall, Professor Dr Aleya Begum, Provost of Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib Hall, Professor Dr Mohammad Nazmuzzaman Bhuiyan, Department of Law
The committee is expected to submit its recommendations at the earliest time.
