Dire academic consequences if classes don't resume next week - UCT
Cape Town - UCT vice chancellor Max Price has warned that the academic consequences would be dire should classes not resume next Monday as planned.
In a communiqué on the university website, Price said the institution hoped to reopen the campus without the use of security on Monday.
A meeting of the UCT senior management team decided that classes would resume on October 3.
Students began protesting two weeks ago, calling for the university to reinstate students who had been suspended, interdicted, or expelled following the Fees Must Fall protests.
They also called for the university to institute a Shackville truth and reconciliation commission (TRC) within this year.
