The Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) has revised the constitution of its Central Students’ Union (SUCSU), introducing 23 central council posts and 9 hall council posts.

The university syndicate’s committee approved the updated constitution on Wednesday (8 October), according to Md. Eshak Mia, convener of the constitution revision committee and director of Student Guidance and Counseling, reports UNB.

Under the revised structure, the central council will include key positions such as vice president (VP), general secretary (GS), assistant general secretary (AGS), sports secretary, literature and annual magazine secretary, cultural secretary, liberation war and democratic movement secretary, and religion and harmony secretary, among others. Additionally, five member posts will be part of the central council.

Each hall council will now feature 9 posts, including VP, GS, AGS, sports secretary, literature and cultural secretary, social service secretary, and three member positions.

Compared to the previous constitution, which had 19 central posts, four new positions—such as liberation war and democratic movement secretary and religion and harmony secretary—have been added. The hall councils are a new inclusion as well.

The constitution was initially approved at the 237th syndicate meeting on September 25 and finalised by the committee on October 8. Although it was scheduled to be handed over to the election commission by October 12, Vice-Chancellor Prof. A.M. Sarwaruddin Chowdhury said the commission has yet to be formed.
