  • Disrupt or interfere with academic or online activities;
  • Block access to or from university campuses;
  • Intimidate, threaten, or harass students, staff, or visitors; or
  • Damage, destroy, or tamper with university property or safety equipment.

The order applies to all UFS campuses — Bloemfontein, South, and Qwaqwa — and remains in force pending the final determination of the matter.
