SUST allows student politics ahead of SUCSU election

Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) administration on Monday allowed student politics on campus again, after it was banned last year, to maintain campus discipline.

A notice signed by the university registrar, Syed Solim Md Abdul Kadir, stated that all political activities by student organisations must obtain prior approval from the university proctor.

The decision follows a unanimous recommendation during a meeting on August 18 between the proctorial committee and representatives of all student organisations, UNB reports.

The notice emphasised that, to maintain campus discipline, students may conduct welfare-oriented political activities with mutual respect, while meetings, rallies, and processions remain prohibited in academic, administrative, and residential buildings.

In addition, panels for the upcoming Shahjalal University Central Students’ Union (SUCSU) election and related introductory events may be organised with prior approval from the relevant hall administration.
