OSUN SUPPORTS STUDENTS SUBJECTED TO POLICE VIOLENCE IN BANGLADESH

On behalf of the Open Society University Network, we express grave concerns about the recent police violence on the BRAC University (BRAC U) campus in Bangladesh, an important OSUN partner.

We express our support for BRAC U students’ right to make their voices heard through peaceful protests and reject violence as inimical to our educational mission.  Read the full statement.
