Hi.

University activities have been suspended until next Monday.

Unfortunately, this again affects our Interest Group. We will keep you in the loop on how we will proceed.

We urge everyone in our group to continue preparing for the upcoming examinations.

Take Care.

Dear Staff and Students,
Over the past few days, we have suspended all University activities on a day-by-day basis, as developments unfolded around the ongoing student protest.
We acknowledge that there has been a call for a national day of solidarity to take place tomorrow, Wednesday, 21 October 2015. We also recognise the need to allow time for the necessary negotiations to take place to resolve the current situation.
In order to ensure the safety and security of our staff and students, the executive management has decided to suspend all University activities for the remainder of this week. This applies to all staff (academic, professional, support and administrative) and students.
We encourage students to use this time productively to prepare for their examinations.
Students are also reminded that any protests that take place off campus are out of Wits’ control and that the University has no influence over how the police may deal with situations that occur in public areas.
We will keep you updated as developments occur.
Please note that the University will communicate with you only via  its official channels: SMS’s, your staff/student email address, the Wits website<http://www.wits.ac.za/> or the University’s official Twitter (@Wits_News and @WitsUniversity) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/witsuniversity<http://www.facebook.com/witsuniversity>) accounts.
