Dear Students,
We have reached the end of the 10th week of the academic semester, and it is extremely difficult to postpone physical lectures any further. However, there are no signs of the ending of the Non-academic staff trade union action.
Therefore, the Faculty of Management and Finance decided to commence the physical lectures from the 1st of July 2024 as per the normal timetable.
We expect everyone to understand that this decision was taken purely considering the importance of effectively delivering the study program to create the maximum possible benefit to the students. This does not mean any dispute with the non-academic staff members. We expect that their issues will be resolved soon and join with normal works soon.
Nevertheless, this decision is connected with an enormous amount of additional workload to academic staff, since there are no non-academic staff for day-to-day operational activities. Simultaneously, we will not be able to run the faculty in full scale. So, we will mainly focus on core-academic activities while dealing with co-curricular and extracurricular activities depending on the feasibility.
Therefore, we expect all students to understand the gravity of the situation and adhere to a high level of self-discipline during this difficult period.
If unwanted situations arise due mainly to the actions of undisciplined students, the faculty has already decided to stop the academic activities completely (both physical and online) and extend the semester.
Those who have hostel facilities can enter the hostels after 2.00 pm this Sunday. If you have any hostel issues, please contact the Deputy Senior Student Counselor.
