The teacher of law department of BRAC University Farhaan Uddin Ahmed, who was allegedly assaulted by officials after termination that angered students, returned to his workplace on Sunday.
On Saturday night, Farhan was served a notice signed by the university’s proctor Samia Haque to return in academic activities.
BRAC University said in a statement on Saturday that actions were taken against the officials accused of assaulting the teacher.
Registrar Muhammad Sahool Afzal has gone on ‘long’ leave while assistant registrar Mahi Uddin and senior officer Jabed Rasel have resigned.
Following a complaint filed by a student, the university formed a committee to investigate alleged assaults on female students by security guards, according to the statement.
“The university expects all stakeholders to fully cooperate in returning academic affairs to normalcy as soon as possible, so as not to hamper the academic progress of students,” the statement reads.
Earlier on Thursday, seven students of the university began an indefinite hunger strike demanding resignation of the registrar and his associates for the alleged assault on the teacher and his reinstatement.
