Dhaka University has introduced special admission privileges for the families of those killed or injured during the July 2024 quota reform protests in Bangladesh. These benefits apply to spouses, children, or, in their absence, siblings of officially recognized victims. The decision was approved by the university's Deans' Committee and will take effect in the 2025–26 academic session. The protests erupted in opposition to the reinstatement of a 30% government job quota for descendants of freedom fighters. Critics argue that the new policy mirrors the quota system the movement sought to dismantle, sparking debate over reform consistency. (PC: The Print)
