There were disruptions on two Durban University of Technology (DUT) campuses on Monday following a protest by scores of students who demanded to hand over a memorandum of grievances to management on Monday.
Police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Thulani Zwane said a group of about 300 students had participated in the protest.
"POP (Public Order Policing) members are at the scene to monitor the situation," said Zwane.
Alan Khan, senior director of corporate affairs at DUT, said they had noted with concern the disruption of classes and the intimidation of staff and students.
