NMMU PETITION: Unlawful Protests violating our Right to Education
Quoted post

#337 Re: Safety of Staff & Students2016-09-28 06:57The NMMU together with numerous other institutions across the country is shut for very real safety concerns in a bid to protect its staff and students, not because they do not want to teach them. The inconvenience of a possible temporary delay in academic progression is nothing compared to a lifetime of distress mourning the loss of a life should the NMMU be forced open and ongoing protests turn deadly. It is my opinion that the NMMU is acting responsibly by adopting their current stance and I commend them for taking this decision, afterall, the correct decision is rarely the most favourable during dire situations. Will Mr. Price be taking on the legal responsibility of staff and student safety should his crusade force the doors of NMMU open?

Whether that be police intervention or private security (that, granted, would be a hefty addition to the budget). By closing the university they fail to honor the right to education of the vast majority of the students. Shutting down the universities because of a financially unfeasible 'right' for free tertiary education is absurd. The university cannot afford making education free. Protests should rather continue at government offices and not the university. They are barking up the wrong tree. Edit: Grammar. |

If you or I were to intimidate or destroy property, we would be arrested and sent to jail. Why does this not apply to the protestors? Nothing wrong with protesting, just don’t intimidate or burn stuff. Rob Ermes
