DUT to resume classes after students protest over security

The Durban University of Technology said its full academic programme will resume on Wednesday following student protests over safety at the university.

Two meetings were held this week between the university and SRC in which an agreement could not be reached. “The university must follow strict tender and procurement guidelines and DUT cannot intentionally violate that process,” the institution said, adding the winning bidder would be announced at the end of October.

Following the meeting, the two committees “agreed that suspending the academic programme any longer will compromise our students, especially considering that a majority of students are busy with tests and assessments”. DUT further explained in its statement an acknowledgement that there existed “internal and external groups with hidden agendas and vested interests who are helping to destabilise the university”.
