The five-strong probe panel will arrive on Wednesday, said the university's Registrar Prof Md Nuruddin Ahmed.
Protests erupted at the university after Fatema Tuz Zinia, a second-year student of the university’s law department and a newspaper reporter, was suspended over a Facebook post on Sept 11.
The university was later shut down in a bid to quell the protests but when the students demonstrated against the move, they were allegedly attacked by outsiders leaving at least 20 injured.
The students were riled further by the VC's 'unsavoury' comments to a private television channel aired on Tuesday.
Math student Md Al Galib along with other protesters condemned the remarks at a media briefing on the campus on Wednesday.
