The Chief Adviser of the interim government, Dr. Muhammad Yunus, has called an urgent meeting to address the ongoing situation concerning the seven colleges affiliated with Dhaka University. The announcement came on Tuesday evening, January 28, according to sources from the Chief Adviser’s Office.

This emergency meeting seeks to resolve the issues plaguing the colleges, which have drawn significant attention from students, educators, and policymakers alike. In attendance are several high-ranking officials, including Education Adviser Professor Dr. Wahiduddin Mahmud, University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman Professor S.M.A. Fayez, and Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor Professor Niaz Ahmed Khan.

Sources close to the administration have indicated that the meeting is set to explore a range of pressing matters affecting the colleges. Topics on the agenda likely include academic management, administrative challenges, and the ongoing dissatisfaction voiced by students regarding academic calendars, examination delays, and results processing.

The seven colleges, which operate under Dhaka University's supervision, have faced increasing criticism due to perceived inefficiencies and mismanagement. Students and teachers have repeatedly demanded reforms to ensure smoother operations and timely completion of academic activities. This growing unrest has prompted intervention from the highest levels of government, with the Chief Adviser taking a personal interest in finding an expedited resolution.

The presence of prominent figures such as Dr. Wahiduddin Mahmud and Professor S.M.A. Fayez underscores the gravity of the situation. Both have extensive experience in higher education governance and are expected to provide insights and recommendations during the discussion. Meanwhile, Dhaka University's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Niaz Ahmed Khan, is expected to shed light on the specific challenges faced by the colleges and propose actionable steps.

As the meeting progresses, stakeholders and the general public alike await an official statement outlining the resolutions and policy measures agreed upon. Observers believe that this initiative could mark a turning point in addressing the long-standing challenges associated with the seven colleges and restoring stability to the academic environment.

Further updates are expected following the conclusion of the meeting.
