CPUT, Fees Must Fall in landmark agreement over withheld results
2 December 2016
Cape Town - Tens of thousands of graduates with historic debt have been encouraged to collect their withheld results and certificates after a landmark agreement between the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) and the Fees Must Fall movement.
During ongoing negotiations, consensus was reached that those with outstanding fees would be given their paperwork to allow them to seek employment and put them in a better position to settle their debt.
CPUT spokesperson Lauren Kansley said a number of previous students had been taking advantage of the opportunity, which is open to all students who had studied at the institution since its inception.
"This decision was a direct result of negotiations between students and management. The dialogue is continuing amicably," she said.
