A 26-member body was formed on Monday to run the activities of Barisal Government Brojo Mohun College students' union.
BM College principal announced the committee comprising members from the Barisal city mayor-backed faction of Bangladesh Chhatra League and its allies.
The non-elected BCSU members also took oath in a hurriedly arranged programme presided over by the principal on the campus at noon.
The rival BCL factions and other student organisations, however, rejected the committee, terming it illegal and formed in violation of BCSU constitution.
Campus sources said the college principal, Nani Gopal Das, and BCC mayor and city AL convener Shawkat Hossain Hiron selected the members of the body which included representatives from BCL (JSD), Chhatra Union, Chhatra Motri, and Chharta Samaj beside ruling Awami League-backed BCL faction.
The principal claimed that he announced the ad-hoc BCSU as per the decision of the college academic council and for the sake of the welfare of the students.
The committee would be valid for only 3 months till September 20, 2011 and the college administration would try to hold election within that period, he said.
