Every year students at Dhaka University have to pay a total of Tk 120 for the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union, or DUCSU and their halls’ student councils.
According to their website, the university currently has 37,064 enrolled students. The college thus collects nearly Tk 440,000 for DUCSU and hall councils each year. Even a conservative estimate of the past 27 years suggests at least
Tk 50 million in revenue has been collected from the fee.
Students have been kept paying these fees despite the lack of DUCSU and hall student council elections since 1990.
The Dhaka University administration did not provide any clear information on where the money goes.
“Though there is no DUCSU, the money is spent on sports and cultural programmes at the university,” Dhaka University Treasurer Prof Kamal Uddin told bdnews24.com.
