Seventy-five students from Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) have been expelled for various durations due to several offenses.
The Academic Council decided on these disciplinary actions during a meeting, citing reasons such as illegal entry into the dormitory, room occupation, physical assault, and involvement in politics despite being prohibited.
The expulsion orders, ranging from six months to two years, were announced in a notification on Monday.
Additionally, 11 students and their guardians will have to submit a written pledge. Most of those punished are leaders, activists, and supporters of the recently banned student organization, Chhatra League. They are known to be followers of local Awami League General Secretary AJM Nasir Uddin and former Education Minister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury.
The punishments will be effective immediately, as stated in the notification.
This decision follows a meeting of the Academic Council held on Sunday, which reviewed the cases of 86 students.
The meeting was chaired by CMCH Principal Professor Mohammad Jashim Uddin.
The notification bears the signatures of Principal Jashim Uddin and Brigadier General Mohammad Tasleem Uddin, Director of CMCH.
Prof Jashim Uddin, Principal of the Chittagong Medical College, said the action was taken following the recommendation of the investigation committee.
