History[]

Students of Asian University of Bangladesh and Shanto-Mariam university vandalised each others campuses in Uttara on 26 May 2008.^[3]

On 14 August 2009, students at the Rajshahi campus of Asian University of Bangladesh protested outside the campus demanding to see government approval for the campus. The university in response closed down operations at the site.^[4] On 25 August 2008, UGC ordered them to close all outer campuses as they did not have the required permission.^[5]

On 18 November 2016, the University Grants Commission announced it will not be accepting certificates from Asian University of Bangladesh unless it is signed by a vice-chancellor appointed by the President of Bangladesh.^[6]
