The Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology or BUET has decided to resume postponed term final exams on May 11 after discussions with students who boycotted the tests for the restoration of a ban on politics. Prof Al Amin also said the university will appeal against a High Court order that stayed a ban on political activities on the campus. The university postponed the examinations amid a boycott on Apr 20. The demonstrators said they would return to academic activities if the authorities file an appeal challenging the High Court order staying the ban. Following a writ petition by the BCL activist, the High Court suspended the ban and asked why it should not be lifted permanently.
