No teachers’ bus and staff could enter the campus since morning due to the protest.

The students have been staging demonstrations since November 2 to press home their 22-point demand, including renovation of dormitories and the library.

On November 8, CU Vice-Chancellor and the teachers of Fine Arts Department sat in a meeting with the students' delegation over their demands but they did not reach a consensus.

Khandaker Masrul Al Fahim, a fourth-year student of fine arts, said, “The university authority could not give any solution. So our protest will continue.”
