Why this delay in holding DUCSU election?

Some university teachers are more focused on becoming Vice Chancellors or CEOs than on teaching. This doesn’t happen elsewhere in the world. In Asia, teachers used to be respected like gurus — but now they’re self-serving. Student politics has become anti-student. Who cracks down on protests first? The ruling party's student wing. It’s a kind of proxy system. For example, at Rokeya Hall, members of a student group aligned with the ruling party — along with the police — attacked female students. Before the July uprising, another (now banned) mainstream student organization also carried out attacks. All major student organizations claim to support development but were in power at some point. Let them list what they did for the university. In the 90s, they asked for a museum — and sent DUCSU into one. So when they say “the spirit of the 90s is back,” does that mean DUCSU won’t return? Is that what they’re implying?
