A ban on campus politics seems to be an easy answer. But what does it mean and how will it work?
We asked around campuses of different universities and tried to find out why student politics failed, how it became a tool for violence, and what are the systems replacing them.
Most medical colleges have recently banned politics on campus, while others are in the process of doing so. However, the pressing question remains: can we truly safeguard the student community from such continued brutality?
Partisan politics of both students and teachers has proven to be damaging for academic excellence.
The focus of student politics should be issues relating to academia, said Professor Niaz Ahmed Khan, the new vice-chancellor of Dhaka University.
In this reimagined university environment, students should no longer have to struggle for basic necessities.
It is deplorable how the previous government did not find it shameful to allow students to be harassed, beaten, and even killed to satisfy political desires.
It is astounding how little a regime in power for 15 years understands the new form of student politics.
It is the utter failure of our political leadership that it has created a sense of disillusionment and disengagement among young people.

The real culprit is the BCL's sense of entitlement.
