The syndicate of Dhaka University in an emergency meeting yesterday expressed profound concern at what it said the shameful and brutal attack on a female student on Sunday.

With Vice-Chancellor Prof SMA Faiz in the chair, the meeting also strongly condemned injuring two reporters on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon on the cqampus.

The syndicate expressed its sympathy to those who were injured in the attack and decided to provide necessary treatment to the injured.

The syndicate was apprised at the meeting that a five-member high-powered probe committee was formed with pro-vice-chancellor as convener to submit a report examining the causes of tension and clashes among students and also the existing situation.

It was told at the meeting that the provosts of Muktijoddha Ziaur Rahman Hall and Poet Jasimuddin Hall were asked to submit reports within three days investigating the incidents happened at those halls.

The syndicate approved the probe committee at the meeting.

Besides, the syndicate requested the concerned hall authorities to take appropriate measures against the outsiders.

Expressing deep satisfaction about the roles of hall administrations, the syndicate urged them to keep a vigilant eye so that no outsider could stay at the residential halls.

The meeting also urged the authorities concerned to gear up the activities of law enforcers on the campus according to the recommendations of the provost committee at a meeting on Sunday.
