The University Grants Commission (UGC) of Bangladesh has formed a six-member advisory committee to resolve the ongoing impasse at Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology (চুয়েট). Notably, the committee lacks any representation from Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology itself – no teachers or representatives from CUET were included. The committee was formed on Monday, October 19th, following directives from the Ministry of Education, and was formalized by a notification signed by Mohammad Zaminur Rahman, Director of Public University Management. Details regarding the specific composition and mandate of the committee have been released. This omission of CUET representatives has raised questions about the potential effectiveness of the committee in addressing the university’s issues. The move comes as Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology continues to grapple with an ongoing period of disruption. Further updates are expected as the committee begins its work.
