'World Cup vacation' in Bangladesh varsity



Dhaka, May 29 (DPA) Students of a premier university in Bangladesh successfully protested to have their institution shut down during the coming World Cup, officials said Monday.

'All academic activities of the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology have been suspended till July 14,' said a spokesman for the state-run institution.

About 2,000 students held demonstrations on the campus in the capital, demanding a World Cup vacation for viewing all the matches on television.

After watching late night televised matches, it would be impossible to concentrate on studies the following morning, argued graduate student Anisul Huq.

The decision to close down the university ahead of next month's formal opening of the world football championship was taken after students locked the main gates of the university and stopped traffic around the campus.

About 10 other universities across the country face imminent closure as students threaten to go on strike if the authorities do not agree to a voluntary shutdown during the tournament from June 9 to July 9.
