Incidents of intimidation on the UFS Main Campus
2008-03-05
There have been a few incidents of intimidation this morning (4 March 2008) on the Main Campus of the University of the Free State (UFS) in Bloemfontein.
At least 28 students were arrested. These students’ actions were in contravention of the court interdict that is in force on the Main Campus and that applies to all students of the UFS who are registered at the Main Campus for 2008.
The management of the UFS condemns these attacks on students and staff and the perpetrators will be dealt with.
The university management also decided today to appoint extra security guards across the campus with immediate effect. This includes the test and lecture halls.
