Teachers at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) have threatened to resign en masse unless the Vice-Chancellor and Pro-Vice-Chancellor leave by Sunday.
The teachers, demonstrating for quite some time now, took the decision at a general meeting of their association on Monday afternoon. The meeting that lasted for two and a half hours starting at 4pm was held at the Civil Engineering Building with more than 250 educators in attendance.
Former Director of Students Welfare Prof Aminul Hoque said the meeting also decided to stage demonstration for two hours starting 11am every day.
He said they would be collecting signatures from teachers until Sunday in a campaign to force the duo to resign. He said they will resign en masse if their demand was not met by then.
According to him, over 250 teachers agreed to resign at the meeting by signing a declaration at the meeting.
Students began contacting their teachers after a rumour swirled at the campus in the afternoon that the agitating teachers were withdrawing their strike. They requested them not to withdraw the programme.
Later, the teachers' association leader Prof Humayun Kabir announced on the loudspeaker that they would not backtrack on their demand.
