Reopening of dorms: DU says its health ministry’s decision to make UNB, Dhaka UNB, Dhaka
Throwing the ball in the government s court, Dhaka University Vice Chancellor Professor AKhteruzzaman today said the final decision to reopen the university s residential halls amid Covid-19 would depend on the directives of the Health Ministry. The decision to reopen the dormitories before the exams has to be taken at the national level, and that too, after taking into consideration the advice of the health ministry experts, the VC told a delegation of student union leaders. A letter from UGC on Wednesday clearly said that the halls should remain closed. However, the exams can be conducted. At the moment, reopening an educational institution is a national decision. But we do not want to go beyond that and put the nation at risk, Akhteruzzan added.
