PSA opposes DU charge increase

The Progressive Students' Alliance, a platform of the left student organisations, on Wednesday condemned a recent Dhaka University decision to increase charges for non-collegiate students.

The leaders of the platform were addressing a rally in front of the university's central library after bringing out a procession from Madhur Canteen on the campus.

They called on the students to wage movements protesting at such decisions.

According to the university academic council's decision on August 9, students would be considered non-collegiate if they had class attendance below 60 per cent and they would eventually become unable to sit for any examination of their session.

The new rules also say that studentship of the science faculty students with below 30 percent class attendance will be cancelled.

Students with 65-74 per cent class attendance will be able to sit for the examinations by paying Tk 5,000 fines.

Earlier, this fine was only Tk 1,000.
