Session jam fears loom for teachers’ strike at Barishal University

A "shutdown" enforced by a section of teachers seeking their promotion has brought the educational and administrative activities of Barishal University (BU) to a standstill, reports bdnews24.com.
As all activities including classes and examinations have been suspended for two days, there is now a "dead silence" on the university campus.
The situation has left students spending their days in extreme uncertainty and fear of long "session jams".
The agitating "Teachers' Society" has declared the vice-chancellor "persona non grata" on the campus after the Syndicate meeting on Sunday failed to decide on the demands of the teachers.
The university's proctor and a syndicate member have already resigned in protest.
Meanwhile, the "resolution" signed by 106 teachers has announced that the "shutdown" will continue until their demands are fulfilled.
They started their "no-work protest" in all university activities on Monday.
Later, the teachers held a meeting and decided to continue the ongoing protests with two demands.
