The UFS SRC and UFS Free Education Movement have called on the university´s management to declare support for free education. Demands include:
1) The reversal of the decision to increase UFS fees with 12.5%, and its replacement with a 0% increment for the year 2018.
2) UFS institutional support for students demanding free education now and the release of the Fees Commission report. Here, we provided amendable measures we expect them to implement.
3) Postponement of the examination commencement date scheduled for 23 October 2017, as well as the review of the entire examination timetable.
4) The accreditation off campus residences must be completed before the end of 2017 to ensure student safety.
5) Free, uncapped WiFi for all UFS students must be implemented and the current range must be extended to off campus students.
Why is this important?
These issues we raise relate to the academic, physical and socio-economic well being of students. The university is mandated to work on achieving these goals.
Your support is required to pressure the university to take decisive actions in ensuring it does so. The university must declare no increment, a revised timetable, its support for our cause, the provision of free WiFi and the accreditation of student accommodation.
We can no longer allow UFS students to be exposed to these issues.
