Political elements behind undergrads’ misconduct, says CVCD

The Committee of Vice Chancellors and Directors (CVCD) in a release said that there are hidden elements with political intent behind the recent wave of incidents involving university students.

The release: The CVCD views with deep concern the episodes of serious misconduct which have occurred in several universities recently where student unions have resorted to undemocratic and violent means to resolve disputes with the administration.

It appears that there are hidden elements with political intent behind the recent wave of incidents involving university students.

The CVCD condemns such acts unreservedly and expresses its determination to utilise all legal means within the framework of the University Act, the bylaws of each university and the civil and criminal laws of the country to maintain discipline and to restore normalcy in the universities. It appeals to all democratic and peaceful students to support the administration in this endeavour, the release said.
