A group of 626 faculty members of BRAC University has expressed their solidarity with the protesting students.
In a statement on Saturday, they said, "We, the faculty members of BRAC University, are deeply shocked by the recent violence that has led to serious injury and tragic loss of lives. These constitute grave injustices that cannot be ignored, and those responsible must be held accountable for their actions."
They said as educators committed to fostering a just, democratic, and inclusive society, we stand by the rights of students to peaceful and legitimate protest. We are deeply concerned that this right has not been respected and profoundly disturbed by the ongoing harassment that many students continue to face.
They said they are troubled by the disruption of academic life for students and alarmed by the long-term impact on students, educational institutions, and the nation.
They also advocated for meaningful dialogue, followed by effective action to restore stability and justice, to address the current situatin.
