The University Management wishes to inform the University community and the general public that only the University Senate is empowered by law to suspend academic activities.

All other administrative and non-academic activities are not affected by the decision of Senate.

Also stated in the circular is the purported "agreement" that school fees will return to their previous rates and temporary suspension of school fees payment. The University Management wishes to state that only payment of prescribed fees and registration of courses can confer studentship status on anyone.

In the circular under reference, it was stated that the University Management will release a memo to formalise these changes". The University Management was never a part of this agreement. It is the figment of the imagination of those who originated the circular.

Consultations had begun with aggrieved students on some issues before the erstwhile Student Union Leaders decided to take laws into their hands. The University Management is still determined to ensure that all outstanding issues are resolved in a peaceful atmosphere. Any purported "agreement" for another two-week window for negotiations is false and should be disregarded. All students are advised to get authentic information from the Student Affairs Division and other official University platfoms.
