Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur (BRUR) has permanently terminated three faculty members and eight administrative officers following their involvement in the killing of student Abu Sayed during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.

The decision was finalized on Wednesday (September 30) during the 123rd meeting of the university's Syndicate, the highest policy-making body of the institution, a syndicate member confirmed on Thursday (October 1).

The permanently dismissed faculty members include former Associate Professor of Mathematics Mashiur Rahman, Associate Professor of Public Administration Asaduzzaman Mandal (Asad), and former Proctor and Associate Professor of Political Science Shariful Islam.

The terminated administrative staff include Office Assistant-cum-Computer Operator Mahabubar Rahman (Babu), former Assistant Registrar Rafiual Hasan Russel, Assistant Registrar Hafizur Rahman (Tufan), Section Officer Moniruzzaman Palash, MLSS Mohammad Nurunnabi Mandal, Security Guard Nur Alam Mia, and MLSS A.K.M. Amir Hossain.

The university syndicate's action follows the sentencing of the accused by the International Crimes Tribunal-2 (ICT-2) under a three-member judicial panel led by Justice Nazrul Islam Chowdhury on April 9, 2026.

Abu Sayed, a student of the English Department at BRUR, was shot dead by police during the quota reform movement in Rangpur on July 16, 2024, an event that sparked nationwide protests.
