State of our campuses: UFS Bloemfontein and South Campuses closed on Tuesday 20 September 2016
2016-09-19
After much consideration, the senior leadership of the University of the Free State (UFS) decided to close the Bloemfontein and South Campuses on Tuesday 20 September 2016.
Bloemfontein Campus:
No academic and administrative services will be available and no lectures and/or tests will take place.
The decision comes after all academic activities were suspended this afternoon because of a growing unease on campus and disruption of some academic activities by groups of students resulting from this morning’s announcement on tuition fees by the Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande.
The closing of the campus will afford an opportunity to the senior leadership to further engage with the Student Representative Council (SRC).
South Campus:
Because of problems with bus transport from the Bloemfontein Campus to the South Campus, no academic services will be available tomorrow. No lectures and/or tests will therefore take place. Administrative services will, however, continue, and staff on the South Campus have to report for work.
Qwaqwa Campus:
Academic and administrative services on the Qwaqwa Campus will continue as normal tomorrow.
Information about the situation on the campuses will be shared as and when it becomes available during the course of tomorrow.
