Disruption of academic activities on the Bloemfontein Campus
2017-10-19
The executive management is aware that groups of students are attempting to disrupt academic activities on the Bloemfontein Campus today.
The continuance of the academic programme remains a serious matter to the executive management, and behaviour such as this will not be tolerated. Students who are identified while taking part in these incidents will be disciplined according to the university’s student disciplinary procedures. Video recordings and/or photos of these incidents can be shared with Protection Services by contacting Noko Masalesa at masalesan@ufs.ac.za or x3436.
The situation on the campus is being closely monitored and the necessary security measures are in place.
