The faculties of the University of Jaffna, which were recently closed as a result of the class boycott carried out by students over Tamil political prisoners, will be reopened next Monday (November 13).
Vice Chancellor of the university Prof. Ratnam Vigneswaran stated that academic activities of the Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Science and Faculty of Management Studies and Commerce will commence on November 13 and that all students are requested to return to the university on that date.
Meanwhile the mid-year examinations of the Science Faculty which were initially slated to be held on October 30 and 31 have been rescheduled for November 13 and 14.
Academic activities at three faculties of the University of Jaffna were suspended indefinitely by the administration on October 30, after students decided to boycott classes in protest demanding the release of Tamil political prisoners.
All the students of the above faculties who are residing in the hostels were instructed to vacate their hostels on Nov. 01.
