Session Jam
Session-jam is a term commonly used in Bangladesh to refer to the failure of several public universities to graduate students according to schedule, due to lengthy closures occasioned by politically motivated violence. Students in public universities in Bangladesh might finish their degrees months to years after their compatriots studying in private universities, where session-jams usually do not occur. The problem is becoming gradually decreasing in recent years.
Famous quotes containing the words session and/or jam:
“The bar is the male kingdom. For centuries it was the bastion of male privilege, the gathering place for men away from their women, a place where men could go to freely indulge in The Bull Session ... the release of the guilty anxiety of the oppressor class.”
—Shulamith Firestone (b. 1945)
“If you hadn’t been in such a hurry to cremate me, I wouldn’t be in the jam I’m in now.”
—Seton I. Miller (1902–1974)
