UCT could close for the year if protests continue - Max Price
28 September 2016
Cape Town – The University of Cape Town may have to close for the year if ongoing Fees Must Fall protests last longer than three weeks, Vice Chancellor Max Price said on Wednesday.
The academic year could still be completed if classes resumed on October 3, but it would be disastrous if classes remained suspended beyond that, he told reporters.
"We've made a plan so that if we only start on Monday, everything would have been pushed two weeks later, but we can still finish the year.
"The key problem is we will not have graduation ceremonies this year. Those will take place in June 2017."
