DASO opposed to university shut-downs
15 August 2016
The Democratic Alliance Student Organisation (DASO) is strongly opposed to campus shut-downs by student organisations.
Such a move will only make the situation worse for all students, especially those from poor backgrounds, by disrupting valuable academic teaching and support.
It will also do nothing to solve the problem. The continued funding crisis we find ourselves in today is directly a result of the ANC government’s chronic underfunding of students and universities over the last decade.
The calls to disrupt teaching time by the poorly disguised ANC front organisation, SAUS, is nothing more than an attempt to distract attention away from the Luthuli House’s blame in this regard.
