Barishal University has taken disciplinary action against 25 students over a clash between two departments that erupted during a football match about one and a half months ago.
Four students have been suspended for six months for their involvement in the incident while 21 others have been asked to submit undertakings in the presence of their guardians, said BU proctor Rahat Hossain Faisal.
He said the university syndicate approved the actions during its meeting on October 11, and the decision was published on Thursday after formal approval of the agenda resolution.
The suspended students are Shawon Sheikh and Sazzad Hossain of the accounting and information systems department, Shahariar Shawon of the marketing department and Tarikul Islam Nayon of the accounting department.
Shawon and Sazzad have been expelled for one semester. Tarikul has been handed either a six-month expulsion or a Tk 40,000 fine as an alternative punishment while Shahariar faces a similar six-month expulsion or a Tk 20,000 fine.
Besides, 10 students from marketing and 11 from AIS have been instructed to appear with their guardians before the proctor鈥檚 office within seven working days and submit written bonds.
The clash took place on September 12 at a playground adjacent to the campus and was later reviewed by the syndicate.
