This postponement was announced by the University’s Registrar on September 25, 2024.
The decision leaves students and stakeholders in a state of uncertainty as the university navigates the impact of the industrial action.
However, the statement indicated that the strike has affected all students and stakeholders of the university, although it did not specify the particular demands or the employee groups involved in the industrial action.
Despite the suspension of regular academic activities, the university confirmed that special programs would proceed as planned. This suggests that some specific courses or events may continue despite the broader disruption.
The registrar’s office did not provide a new date for the commencement of the academic year, stating only that it “will be announced in due course.” This uncertainty has raised concerns among students and staff, who are left wondering how the delay might impact the academic calendar, graduation timelines, and other key operations.
The postponement comes at a crucial time, as many students were preparing to commence with the new academic year, leaving them uncertain as they await further updates.
