Re-opening of the University for Operations on Monday 19 August 2019, to lay a basis for the resumption of Academic Activities

The last three weeks have been difficult for the University as no semblance of academic activities of the University could be undertaken, with major consequences for the students, staff, the University and the country at large. Operations of the University were resumed, although with intermittent disruptions, over the last few days. It is within this context the Council of the University met three times during the three-week period of protest action, with the sole objective of addressing the demands presented to it, and thereby creating conditions for the operational and academic activities of the University to resume without delay.   More details can be accessed by following the download below: Re-opening-of-the-University-Statement_20190818
